Market Halls Canary Wharf can host a company celebration, networking evening or team social in three semi-private or private spaces for 60 to 300 guests, and up to 700 guests when the whole hall is hired. The venue is at 25 North Colonnade, across from the Elizabeth line station in Canary Wharf, East London.
Seminars and company events
Market Halls sells team socials, summer parties, Christmas celebrations, meetings, receptions and brand activations. At Canary Wharf the hall is set over two levels with views across the canal, three bars and eleven street food kitchens. Events are built around a flexible food and drink token arrangement, so guests choose from the traders on site. A dedicated events team handles requests, and a private hire brochure is available to download.
For a corporate evening, the Colonnade is the most self-contained option. It has its own level and a private entrance, with a central bar, a coffee shop and two street food traders. The Waterside suits a livelier format: it is a semi-private area inside the main hall with its own bar and a games area with darts, pool and shuffleboard.
Weddings and receptions
The Market Halls private hire page lists parties, receptions and celebrations, but it does not present Canary Wharf as a wedding venue. If you are planning a post-ceremony reception or a similar large celebration, raise it in your enquiry.
Rooms and capacities
Three named spaces and a full-venue option are listed for Canary Wharf. The Colonnade holds 100 seated or 150 standing. The Waterside holds 150 seated or 300 standing. The Hideaway is a tucked-away area with booths, a photo booth corner and its own private bar, for 40 seated or 60 standing, with access to a private outdoor terrace in summer. Full venue hire covers the whole hall for 550 seated or 650 standing, and the venue states up to 700 guests.
Catering
Food comes from the traders in the hall rather than from a single kitchen. The venue lists eleven kitchens at Canary Wharf, and menus can be browsed by trader. Dietary needs, including halal, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian choices, are covered across the traders, and the venue advises speaking to each kitchen for current information. Drinks are served from three bars.
Getting there
Market Halls Canary Wharf is at 25 North Colonnade, London E14 5HD, directly opposite the Elizabeth line. The venue states that all areas are wheelchair accessible. The two floors are not linked for guests, so there is no step-free movement between them, and accessible toilets are provided on each level. This matters for a plan that spreads guests across both levels.
For small group dining rather than hire, standard bookings take groups of 8 to 30 through the website. Larger group bookings and private hire go through an enquiry to the events team.
