A cornerstone of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s architectural gem; the lower level ‘Crypt’ was built along with the church in 1729. Contrary to the name might suggest; this surprisingly light and airy space has been recently re-designed to incorporate the historic stone foundations of the original structure with modern light oak panelling and underfloor he...

Exhibition · 120 guests · October 2019 · Hanbury Hall
Our venue was changed at the very last minute due to unforeseen circumstances, but this simply proved the excellence of the staff at Spitalfields venue. They changed our location over to the Crypt, without any hesitation and catered for our every need. I'm planning on coming back to host an event at the beautiful Hanbury Hall, I can't wait to work with the Spitalfields Venue team again!

Charity Event · 100 guests · November 2017 · Hanbury Hall
The venue is beautiful. The space was perfect for our event. The staff was really helpfull and guests had a good time.
The venue wasn't empty at the discussed time. We had to wait for almost an hour which made setting up for our event very stressful. Photos on tag venue are a bit misleading as it looks like it is in the church but it is a separate location a few 100 meters away
