87 Bart’s Close

Venue Info

Located in the heart of the City of London, 87 Barts Close – home of Butchers’ Hall – combines the character and tradition of a historic Livery Hall with contemporary event facilities. Following an extensive refurbishment, the venue offers an impressive collection of flexible spaces for conferences, meetings, dinners, receptions, awards ceremonies and corporate celebrations.

The centrepiece is the Great Hall, an elegant wood-panelled room filled with natural daylight and featuring impressive chandeliers and historic detailing. Accommodating up to 250 guests for a reception, 200 theatre style or 156 for dinner, it provides a striking setting for larger corporate events and formal occasions.

For smaller events and breakout requirements, the venue also offers the flexible Court Suites, Reception Room and intimate Mezzanine. One of its standout features is the Rooftop Terrace, a secluded outdoor space for up to 80 guests – particularly appealing for summer receptions, drinks and networking events.

Despite its historic surroundings, 87 Barts Close is very well equipped for modern business events, with integrated AV, flexible lighting and dedicated fibre-optic broadband. The combination of heritage, contemporary facilities and outdoor space makes it an excellent alternative to a traditional City hotel or conference venue.
