The Space

Nestled in the heart of Clerkenwell, the Old Finsbury Town Hall is an art nouveau styled gem perfect for any glamorous affair. Whether it's a seated dinner, or a standing cocktail reception, this characterful venue is the essence of vintage elegance right in the bustling centre of London.

This stunning grade II listed building exudes opulence and glamour with its vintage decor and original features. With its dramatic sweeping staircase, stained glass and a grand hall glittering with elegant chandeliers, you and your guests will feel like celebrities for the day. Both versatile and unique, the venue is located just minutes from Angel and Farringdon tube stations. The space is suitable to cater for a variety of functions including dinners, award ceremonies, press conferences, and weddings, and the staff are always on-hand to ensure your event runs smoothly.

The building is owned by the Urdang Academy, whose alumni have gone on to appear in some of the top West End shows. All profits made from the venue go towards the Urdang Academy's Student Bursaries Scheme, supporting outstanding talents in the Performing Arts.
