About Gibson Hall

Gibson Hall

Gibson Hall is one of the most flexible venues in London and has an established reputation for hosting a diverse range of events. This stunning venue, which was originally a banking hall, was built in 1865 and maintains some of the most spectacular features, such as the three huge chandeliers and its dome ceiling. The historical building is a beautiful place to host an array of events and, coupled with our modern, efficient service and attention to detail, Gibson Hall produces some of the finest events in London.

The Main Hall is the perfect place to entertain and provides a glittering backdrop to any occasion. For an atmosphere of tradition and that sense of history, dining under the spectacular chandeliers and amongst the Corinthian marbled columns. Dating back to the 17th Century, this Grade II building will provide a memorable experience, second to none.

The Hall is comprised of the Main Hall and the Garden Room, adjacent rooms ideally placed to host conferences, dinners, receptions, parties, product launches and exhibitions. Downstairs are a couple of smaller rooms which can be used for breakout sessions or other smaller meetings. However, the most exclusive feature of Gibson Hall is the beautiful courtyard garden which can be used in the summer months for BBQs, parties, drinks receptions and a whole host of themed events.
