Conway Hall is a central London venue where you can run a conference for up to 400 delegates, a board meeting for 10, an awards ceremony or a wedding ceremony. It stands at 25 Red Lion Square in London, and it is owned by the Conway Hall Ethical Society, a charity. Five spaces can be hired, which lets one booking combine a plenary, breakout rooms and a reception.
Seminars and company events
The Main Hall is the largest room, with a standard capacity of 400, a stage and strong acoustics. It suits conferences, talks, concerts, filming and livestreamed events. The Brockway Room is a daylit room with a skylight, used for meetings, lectures and exhibitions. The Russell Room seats 35 and works for rehearsals, auditions and workshops. The Fox Room seats up to 10 for boardroom meetings and small presentations. The venue provides AV facilities and an events team to support the day. Past clients named on the site include the BBC, Netflix, Tate and the Guardian.
Weddings and receptions
The Library can be used for wedding ceremonies and is also a classic backdrop for photo shoots and filming. Conway Hall also hosts memorials and awards ceremonies. Receptions can be supported by the Conway Suite, a pair of spaces sold as an all-inclusive package with optional catering and a small private kitchen.
