About this space

Lecture Hall, a Hall in Toynbee Hall, is a high‑ceilinged historic room defined by its generous, open proportions.

Design: The Lecture Hall has full‑height oak panelling along the walls, a wide oak floor and a central fireplace beneath tall leaded windows, all beneath a plain white ceiling fitted with pendant lights.

Features: The Lecture Hall provides in‑house Wi‑Fi, a fixed PA system and air conditioning. The space has a step‑free entrance, wheelchair‑accessible routes and accessible toilets, and on‑site staff are available to assist with setup.

Ideal for: Professional and academic groups seeking a formal, presentation‑focused layout for seated talks or mixed seated/standing receptions.

What guests say: The Lecture Hall is maintained in good condition and supported by friendly, helpful on‑site staff. The room has poor acoustics for break‑out sessions.
