Barber Surgeons' is a wonderfully peaceful venue tucked away from the bustle of the City in the private and tranquil Monkwell Square. The Great Hall leads directly onto the terrace which overlooks the gardens, making it an ideal location for a lunch time barbeque or a quintessentially English drinks reception. If the weather is inclement then the inside space would always be available to host the event and, with a variety of interesting rooms, that can be used this would ensure that the weather could not spoil the event!

Barber Surgeons' Hall has been the home of the Worshipful Company of Barbers since 1430 although the Company can trace it roots to 1308. The Hall is a wonderfully peaceful venue, tucked away from the bustle of the City in the private and tranquil Monkwell Square.

Although a modern building, the Hall is steeped in history and is the home to a range of magnificent paintings including the famous portrait of Henry VIII by Hans Holbein. The Great Hall, in which the painting hangs, is a spacious and gracious room which is flooded with natural daylight and opens onto an outdoor terrace: it is ideal for conferences, dinners or receptions.

The adjoining Reception Room is predominantly used for pre-lunch or dinner receptions but can be used as a smaller, more intimate dining area. In addition there are two smaller rooms which are ideal for breakout areas or for use by VIPs.

The Great Hall
The impressive Great Hall; with its elaborately decorated high ceilings and huge windows, is a large and bright room which is popular for meetings, presentations, lunches and dinners. It is large enough to accommodate 200 guests for a reception and allows for flexible seating arrangements for up to 120 diners. Guests can admire the magnificent paintings that adorn the Hall, including the famous portrait of Henry VIII by Hans Holbein.

The Reception Room
The large, bright and airy Reception Room is used as a breakout space and for drinks prior to dining in the Great Hall.

The Court Room
The Court Room can be used for smaller private meetings.

The Charter Room
The Charter Room, which contains the charters of the Barbers' Company dating from 1462, provides an additional breakout room.

The Terrace
The doors from the Great Hall lead to a terrace overlooking the immaculately kept gardens, a section of the Roman London Wall, and the Barbers' Company herb garden. The terrace is ideal for summer cocktail parties, as well as for pre-lunch or dinner drinks.

The Terrace is available for drinks receptions for up to 100 people.
