44 Hallam Street is a dedicated conference centre in Fitzrovia, central London, for meetings, conferences, AGMs, training days, workshops and drinks receptions. It has eight rooms and takes up to 250 delegates theatre style. It is one of five London venues run by Cavendish Venues, and it is let by the room rather than as a whole private house.
Seminars and company events
The centre is built for working days. A main room can be paired with smaller suites, so a plenary session can run alongside parallel workshops, with space nearby for registration and coffee. The operator says it has specialized in conferences for charities and non-profit organizations for 30 years and offers a discounted rate to registered charities and academic institutions. Audio-visual equipment is installed throughout, and the venue can support hybrid and video-conferencing formats.
Weddings and receptions
The site presents the venue for business use: conferences, lectures, receptions and evening or weekend events. It does not offer weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The Council Chamber is the largest room at 165 m². It is a double-height space with oak panelling and an upper gallery. It seats 250 theatre style and around 130 at cabaret tables or for a banquet.

History and setting

Getting there
The venue is at 44 Hallam Street, London W1W 6JJ. Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street stations are about five minutes on foot, and Regent's Park about seven.
