Located in the heart of the City of London, the Gibson Hall is on of the finest banqueting venues in London. Named after its architect, John Gibson, it was completed in 1865 for the National Provincial Bank of England and was the greatest of the City’s banking halls, reflecting the classical Victorian elegance prevalent at the time.

Weddings at this venue “flow” naturally through the reception and cloakroom areas, to the Garden Room, where drinks reception may be held, and finally to the awe inspiring Main Hall. This dramatic room is, quite simply, magnificent with its huge crystal chandeliers and Corinthian marbled columns.

Up to 280 guests can be seated at round tables with space for a dance floor. The Garden Room is ideal for a pre-dinner drinks reception and in fine weather, the large courtyard garden, is lovely for drinks and  photographs.

Licensed to hold civil ceremonies, Gibson Hall proves a stunning location for both your ceremony and wedding reception. The Main Hall accommodates maximum 300 for a Civil Ceremony and the Garden Room maximum 140 people.

The kitchen is run by our very own World Master Chef who will propose and prepare a menu to your particular specifications. Renowned for having one of the industry's most talented teams, combining unsurpassed attention to detail with a personal service and stylishly presented food, Kudos Hospitality will enhance your special day.

The combination of the stunning location and high quality caterer has made Gibson Hall one of the most desirable London venues for weddings and receptions.
