Steeped in more than 700 years of history, Skinners’ Hall gives a remarkable setting in the heart of the City of London for events, dining, meetings and celebrations. Our Grade I listed building combines historic architecture with contemporary design following a major restoration, creating a venue that feels both distinctive and modern. We offer a collection of spaces across the building, including our Great Hall, Old Court Room, Vaults, Roof Terrace and Pavilion, Inner Courtyard and more intimate rooms for meetings and private dining. Our spaces allow us to host different event formats, from smaller private gatherings and dinners to larger receptions and celebrations. The Roof Terrace and Pavilion provide a rare open-air setting in the City, while our Vaults offer an atmospheric event environment with its own entrance. We also have the flexibility to host concurrent events in different parts of the building. Our restored spaces preserve the character of Skinners’ Hall while giving us the facilities needed for contemporary events.
