New to the market from April 2014, The Banking Hall is an events venue in the City of London straddling Cornhill and Lombard Street and overlooking the Bank of England. Its art-deco, Grade II-listed Main Hall dates from 1930 and is available for larges conferences, dinners, exhibitions and receptions. There is a separate mezzanine area overlooking the Main Hall. Banking Hall is equipped with the latest lighting, sound and communications technology and has its own in-house technical production team.

Banking Hall will accommodate up to 800 guests for a stand-up reception, 500 in the main hall and 300 in the mezzanine – or 500 delegates for a theatre style presentation, 300 in the main hall and 200 in the mezzanine.

The Banking Hall is seconds away from the transport hub of Bank Station.
