About this space

Few venues can boast a history like Great Hall, with its high ceiling and stain glass windows, it transports guests back in time.

The beautifully furnished Great Hall remains as it was in 1670 with a carved screen at the south end of the room and a minstrels’ gallery at the north end. The room is full of life sized portraits and stunning stained glass containing Coats of Arms of Past Masters and former Officers of the Society.

Apothecaries’ Hall is one of the oldest Livery Halls in the City of London, nestled in the back streets behind St Paul’s Cathedral. With the first-floor rooms remaining as they were in 1672, the Grade I listed Hall is a portal into another time.

Apothecaries’ Hall comprises four historic spaces with a most magical atmosphere and is filled with fascinating artefacts, perfect for dinners, receptions, conferences, and other special occasions.
