About The Charterhouse

Step into The Charterhouse and you'll find yourself surrounded by 700 years of London history, right between Barbican and Smithfield Market. We've been many things since 1348 - a Carthusian monastery, a private mansion, a boys' school - and today we're proud to be both an almshouse and one of central London's most distinctive event venues. Our Great Hall commands attention with its soaring medieval architecture, while the Tudor-era Great Chamber offers a more intimate setting with original wood paneling and period details. The Norfolk Cloister provides a peaceful outdoor space that works beautifully for drinks receptions when the weather cooperates. We can accommodate anything from 20-person board meetings to 400-guest receptions, with each of our spaces offering something different. For corporate meetings, we've equipped our rooms with modern presentation technology while keeping the historic character intact. The atmospheric lighting throughout the building creates just the right mood whether you're hosting a formal dinner or casual networking event. Our team regularly transforms these spaces for weddings, where couples exchange vows in the Great Chamber before moving to the Great Hall for dining and dancing. We've also become a favorite location for film crews and photographers who appreciate the authentic medieval and Tudor backdrops. Getting here couldn't be easier - we're walking distance from both Barbican and Farringdon stations, with full accessibility features including ramps and accessible facilities throughout. Our flexible indoor and outdoor spaces mean we can adapt to your specific requirements, whether that's theatre-style seating for a presentation or banquet tables for a celebration. When you book with us, your event directly supports our 400-year charitable mission and helps maintain this extraordinary building. We're here to help you create something memorable while preserving this remarkable piece of London's heritage.
