About The Charterhouse
Welcome to The Charterhouse, a living testament to centuries of history, nestled between Barbican and Smithfield Market, just north of the iconic Charterhouse Square. Once a Carthusian monastery, this grand site has transformed over time into a private mansion, a boys' school, and, today, an almshouse—a role it continues to fulfill with grace.
The Charterhouse is more than just a venue; it is a journey through time, a story told with grand scales and intricate details. Whether you seek a location that embodies a specific historical period or provides an atmospheric backdrop for a shoot or event, The Charterhouse offers a diverse range of styles, architecture, lighting, and authentic period details.
With its unique advantage in the market, The Charterhouse is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Many guests are likely to find this location new, unexpected, and stunning - a venue that stands out in the heart of London. The indoor and outdoor spaces, each with its own unique character, provide countless opportunities for innovative formats and designs.
As The Charterhouse undergoes redevelopment, its main event spaces are now among the most prestigious venues in central London. The vision extends beyond hosting events; it is about creating a permanent and vital entity that contributes to charity and leaves a lasting legacy. The Charterhouse embraces a progressive attitude towards environmental sustainability and fair, ethical work practices.
By choosing one of our highly adaptable and characterful spaces for your event, you directly support this 400-year-old charity and contribute to the preservation of the site for future generations.
