OVERVIEW

Situated just a short stroll from Bank tube station in the City of London, Banking Hall is well placed for guests arriving from all corners of London and beyond. As they proceed up the stone steps into the venue, they will arrive at the remarkable art deco Main Hall, which has a huge capacity of up to 250 seated and 700 standing. There are limitless ways to decorate this versatile wedding space and it has a full license for ceremonies. 

This inspiring landmark wedding venue has two key wedding spaces: the Main Hall and the Counting Room, with the latter accommodating up to 280 standing guests. The two rooms give you ample flexibility for a varied event flow, such as a cocktail reception in the more intimate space followed by a sit-down banquet and dance floor in the Main Hall. Alternatively, couples can exclusively use one area for their event, using the other as a cloakroom and storage space. The options are endless and the dedicated in-house team can provide you with plenty of ideas. 

The exceptionally high ceilings give this venue an air of grandness, which is perfect for weddings and large conferences. I have visited here several times for different events and the staff and catering are professional and friendly” Bride and Groom, 2019

The glamorous aesthetic gives all sorts of opportunities for decoration, from Great Gatsby style wedding parties to understated event design that allows the extraordinary architecture to do the talking. Featuring high ceilings, a sweeping staircase and opulent interior details, Banking Hall perfectly suited to important life occasions.

Large venue situated in the heart of City of London and the Royal Exchange. Lovely surroundings with an immense space which can be easily decorated for any type of use. Exceptionally high ceilings gave this venue an air of grandness which was perfect for our special day.

The team at Banking Hall went out of their way to ensure we had the day we had always been planning. The venue is amazing and is so versatile to go from wedding ceremony to smart dinner and to a party in the evening. We were blown away by the quality of the food and drinks; it was modern, fresh and so beautifully presented. I would, without question, recommend the venue, team and services provided to anyone looking to run a private or corporate event in London as it truly is the best I have come across.
