Holborn Venues is based in St Andrew Church in Holborn in the centre of London.
The name has been changed to Holborn Venues to raise its profile for the meeting and events organizer. The change is prior to a refurbishment programme which is getting underway this year.
A church has stood on the site of St Andrew since the early Middle Ages.
The ‘latest’ St Andrew church however was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren following the Great Fire of London.
Holborn Venues still operates as a church but it does have eight individual meeting rooms plus a courtyard garden for outdoor events.
The Court Room at Holborn Venues is the largest conference room. It features a hammer beam ceiling and large windows overlooking the church.
The Court Room is suitable for dinners, receptions and meetings. It will accommodate up to 70 delegates for a theatre style meeting and is equipped with an 80" monitor, wi-fi and basic AV.
There is a range of smaller meeting, training and boardrooms – each with their own style and character.
Holborn Venues is located in St Andrew Street a short walk from three central London tube stations: Chancery Lane, Farringdon and Blackfriars.
