About this space

Livery Hall, a Hall in Haberdashers Hall, is defined by a long, uninterrupted banquet layout and formal rectangular proportions.

Design: The room is lined in warm oak panelling beneath a high, geometric timber ceiling. The proportions create a formal, chambered interior lit by even overhead lighting.

Features: A built-in PA system and speakers support speeches and music. A dedicated Wi‑Fi connection and air conditioning provide connectivity and comfort. A step‑free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets are available. Venue policy permits guests to play their own music or bring a DJ, subject to the venue's noise restrictions.

Ideal for: Alumni and corporate groups seeking a formal, seated dinner in a ceremonial setting.

What sets it apart: A continuous run of framed historical portraits and glass display cabinets lines the walls, providing a museum-like backdrop to events.

What guests say: The room is airy and elegant with an easy flow, maintained to a high standard and supported by attentive on-site staff.
