Tucked away in Austin Friars, a quiet courtyard moments from Bank and Liverpool Street, Dutch Hall is one of the City of London's most distinctive corporate event venues. Behind its historic façade lies a space that has stood for 475 years — rebuilt after the Second World War and restored into an elegant, versatile hall where soaring ceilings and original architecture meet everything a modern corporate event needs.
The venue offers three connected spaces — The Great Hall, the Van Gogh Room and the Library — that work beautifully alone or together. Use them as a single flowing event, or as a main room with breakout spaces and a separate area for catering. Whether you're hosting a 300-guest drinks reception, a conference, an awards dinner, a product launch or a company Christmas party, Dutch Hall adapts around you. A rare blend of character and practicality in the heart of the capital's financial district, it's a blank canvas with a story — and a team who handle every detail of your event from first enquiry to event delivery.
The Great Hall : The heart of the venue. With its high ceilings, natural light and striking architecture, the Great Hall is the setting for your main event — a seated dinner for up to 200, a standing reception for 300, or a conference in theatre layout for 250. Its blank-canvas design takes styling, staging and lighting effortlessly, making it as at home hosting a black-tie awards ceremony as a product launch or company conference.
The Van Gogh Room :A characterful secondary space, ideal as a breakout room, a dedicated dining area, or a room for arrival drinks and canapés before guests move through to the Great Hall. Its medium scale makes it perfect for smaller meetings, VIP receptions or exhibition area alongside a larger event. The Library An elegant, atmospheric room that lends a sense of occasion to any gathering.
The Library : works well as a Green room, quieter breakout sessions, or interviews and press during a conference, Combined with the Great Hall and Van Gogh Room, it gives you a complete event flow under one roof.
