Butcher's Hall

The Livery Hall’s five distinct spaces, vary in capacity and style. They are accessible, versatile event spaces offering plenty of choice, including a Roof top garden.

Home to the Worshipful Company of Butchers, the Hall was first located in Monkwell Street and dated from the second half of the 15th century. The next Hall near St Bartholomew's Hospital was destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666, together with forty three other Livery Company Halls. Its successor in Pudding Lane (1667–77) was again burnt down, rebuilt in 1829-30 and compulsorily purchased by an Act of Parliament in 1882. A new Hall was built at the present site in Bartholomew Close (1884–85), which was bombed in both world wars: 1915 and again in 1944. The Company's present Hall dates from 1960 and was recently refurbished.
