A traditional Livery venue in the heart of London

Barbican, EC1A

The Space

Founders Hall is an elegant and versatile event space located in the heart of London, easily accessible by three different tube lines: Farringdon, Barbican, and St Pauls. The venue boasts two beautifully appointed rooms, The Livery Hall and The Parlour Room, both of which offer an exceptional backdrop for a range of events, from corporate functions to breakfasts and lunches or private parties.

The Livery Hall is the larger of the two rooms and can accommodate up to 120 guests for a standing reception or 64 guests for a seated dinner. With its tall ceilings, amazing lighting that can change colour, and stunning stained-glass windows, the space exudes a sense of grandeur and sophistication, making it the perfect choice for all events.

The Parlour Room, on the other hand, is a more intimate space that can accommodate up to 60 guests for a standing reception or 20 guests for a seated dinner boardroom style. Featuring a contemporary design with stylish furnishings, the room provides a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, making it ideal for smaller gatherings or networking events.

Overall, Founders Hall is a unique and impressive venue space that combines historic charm with modern amenities, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of events.
