Venue Testimonials
Really fancy.. Went there for a ball... Absolutely loved it.
Abigail Filani
Definitely the feel of a Grand Banquet Hall with a large central staircase leading up to it and all the backup facilities of a large hotel. Attended an Indian wedding which handled a large audience and all the lavish catering comfortably. Very easy to reach just 3 mins walk from Holborn underground station.
Arun Rishi
Good conference venue. Catering was good and staff helpful. Easy access by public transport.
