Historic, versatile and efficient London events venue
Carrie

The Sir James Hawkey Hall is a fantastic and affordable London venue for corporate receptions, conferences and seminars.  Located in Woodford Green, this blank canvas yet ready-made venue provides everything needed for a huge variety of functions.  A large and welcoming foyer will lead your guests through to a simple yet elegant rectangular room, with a fixed stage, comprehensive lighting and staging gear, and a clever mobile bar that can be set up anywhere in the room.

There are also cloakrooms, extensive toilet facilities, good disabled access, and large amounts of car parking spaces.  This is a self-catering venue (which is great for saving money), and the kitchen facilities are at commercial standard – making it a really easy and up-to-date place for your team to work.  Hire charge also includes your tables, chairs and any other furniture you may need – although AV equipment may be something you’d like to handle yourself, as the existing equipment here is basic for conferencing.

Dressing rooms provide excellent additional space for your guest speakers or evening entertainers, and there’s also a small lounge set away from all the action where your guests can enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.

The venue is decorated with style, taste and English charm, and also features the occasional splash of Winston Churchill memorabilia – as he was the person to proudly open this venue in 1955.  Lots of quirky post-war touches still reside in this building, and you’ll find yourself constantly stopping to look at some of the fascinating pictures on the walls and historic artifacts on the shelves.
