BOXHALL City is a food hall and bar next to Liverpool Street Station that hires out four private areas for 40 to 150 guests, or the whole venue for up to 600. Organisers can book team drinks, networking events, corporate celebrations and festive parties at 1-27 The Arcade, London EC2M 7PN, in the City of London.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself for team drinks, corporate celebrations, drinks receptions and networking events. It is a social format, not a conference center: guests choose from the food hall's independent kitchens and bars. A full takeover of up to 600 guests is possible for large launches and parties. The site publishes a private hire brochure and a virtual tour, and notes that dates in peak summer and festive periods fill quickly.
Rooms and capacities
Four bookable areas are listed. The Metropolitan Bar holds 100 and is described for corporate celebrations, drinks receptions and networking events. The Ticket Hall is the largest named area at 150 and is aimed at bigger celebrations. The Snug holds 75 and is semi-private, suited to team socials and evening drinks. Little Met holds 40 and is the smallest space, for small teams and networking.
For larger groups, the venue as a whole can be taken over for a capacity of 600. The venue closes to the public on private event days, and the site lists upcoming closures in late November and December.
Catering
BOXHALL brings together 14 independent kitchens and two bars under one roof. Guests pick their own dishes and drinks from a range of global street food, which suits mixed groups and informal receptions. Vouchers for use at the kitchens are mentioned in guest feedback, so ask the events team how food and drink are organised for your group size. A Christmas offer for company parties is also listed.
History and setting
The venue sits in The Arcade, with entrances on both Liverpool Street and Old Broad Street. It stands in the heart of the City of London, among offices, which makes it practical for after-work events and client evenings. Live music, sport screenings and weekly events run on the public side of the venue.
Getting there
BOXHALL is right next to Liverpool Street Station. Liverpool Street is served by the Elizabeth, Central, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines. A cycle station is next to the station. There is no on-site parking, and the nearest car parks are Broadgate Car Park and NCP Finsbury Square.
Weddings are not offered on the pages we read. For any event, send the team your date, group size and format, and ask which area fits and whether an exclusive takeover is available on your date. The venue's opening times are long, from 7 am to midnight on most days, which gives some flexibility for morning or late events, but exact hours for a private event are agreed with the team.
