The Scene at Banking Hall London
Moments from Bank tube station in central London is one of the city’s most glamorous wedding venues. Banking Hall is a grade II listed, 1930s Art Deco former bank, and now an exclusive use venue from one of London’s most established events teams, Camm & Hooper — the same team behind other iconic venues including Battersea Power Station.
Guests and hosts are welcomed into the striking Main Hall with towering columns and a sweeping marble staircase that makes a great backdrop to your bridal party photos. Two rooms can be yours for the whole of your wedding, or used on their own.
The long, grand Main Hall is fit for a regal banquet and comes with an-built stage and dance floor. The Counting Room, a smaller space on the mezzanine level, features a stunning brass-topped bar that makes it a great break out space for drinks or relaxing after your wedding breakfast.
Original Art Deco details and luxurious touches of statement tiled floors, brass accents and high ceilings makes this a stylish space and one that can be decorated to make it yours.
The experienced in-house events team and dedicated wedding coordinator are flexible, knowledgeable, and creative, giving you endless options for your wedding day. The creativity doesn’t stop there: Camm & Hooper is renowned for its innovative catering and 50-strong cocktail list, too.
