The building was Britain’s first purpose-built gym and was the site for the indoor events at the first Olympic Games, held in London back in 1866.The new Conran-designed interior has kept the original cast-iron hooks from which budding Olympians swung from ropes, as well as the laminated timber roof trusses.

The semi-private dining room will seat up to 32 guests, or 50 guests for a cocktail and canapé reception.
