Why not hold your next conference, event or meeting at Toynbee Hall?

Venue Hire

Built over 125 years ago, Toynbee Hall is a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts building and retains many of its original features. Situated within easy reach of the City, Liverpool Street Station and Aldgate East Underground Station, Toynbee Hall offers a convenient yet unique venue for a variety of events.

There are two halls available for hire with free WiFi, the Ashbee Hall and the Lecture Hall. Both halls can both seat up to 100 people theatre style. There is also a meeting room for hire, the Library that can seat 16 people boardroom style or up to 30 people theatre style.

Lecture Hall: An elegant wood-panelled room complete with latticed windows with mullioned surrounds, wooden floor and a carved wood and marble fireplace.

Ashbee Hall: The Room is still decorated in the arts and crafts style, retaining 'tree of life' medallions, Toynbee Hall’s logo, on the walls and shields of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges. Latticed windows with mullioned surrounds, wooden flooring and a marble and wood fireplace all help to create a unique atmosphere in this historic room. There is also a grand piano in the Ashbee Hall that can be used with your hall booking.

Some comments by past users

- The venue is excellent, the rooms are set up beautifully and the service is top class! The venue hire prices are very competitive and we always feel at home in the halls, which is why we continue to come back to Toynbee Hall.

- This is to thank you for letting us use your wonderful hall at Toynbee, which proved to be the perfect venue for our event last week. We've had lots of positive feedback form our guests, and the service really was top quality all round.

- Your staff were great - as were the recommended caterers. All in all our leaving do was a big success and I won't hesitate to recommend Toynbee Hall to others for future events like ours.

- I just wanted to send you a quick message to let you know what great staff you have at Toynbee Hall!  We held an event recently and the staff were helpful, calm and pleasant; and the hall looked fantastic!  At the end of the evening the cleaner was equally pleasant and helpful.
