The Insurance Hall

The entirety of this building is a stunner from the outside, and as you enter into the comfortable reception area - the welcoming feeling continues. The Insurance Hall doesn’t cover the entirety of the building, but instead, boasts the stunning ground floor area that covers their main rooms. You’ll get a feel for the decadence of this place as soon as you enter, we definitely did.

There’s even stone steps that lead to the entrance, that flows seamlessly into the Tudor architecture, there’s so many incredible touches around this place that will give such a unique feel to your next event, like the incredible finishings on the interior, or the crests that adorn the walls - hundreds of years old.

All of the key spaces within The Insurance Hall are accessible from the lobby - as you enter, The Court Room and The Jubilee Room are to your left, The Great Hall (and it is great) opens out to your right, and directly in front is The President Suite.

The building itself is split almost in half, with The Great Hall and The President Suite standing as the highly character filled sections of the venue with stained-glass windows and built-in fireplaces. We loved the chairs in these spaces too which are large and leather-covered which really add to the historical setting.

The other half of The Insurance Hall is much more modern and fresher, while still being housed within this incredible historic building. These spaces come with built in AV systems that were implemented thoughtfully during the design process - something they didn’t manage in the 18th century! That said, the older spaces are still incredibly well equipped with AV and production equipment. All of this really made us feel that the sweet spot for this venue would be conferences or product launches, those kinds of 200-person bustling events filled with energy and excitement!

There’s also food aplenty here at The Insurance Hall. Breakfast, working lunches, canapés and bowl food are all available for your event. All ingredients are locally sourced from specially selected suppliers, and they work with Assured Food Standards to procure Red Tractor Certified produce like free-range meat and poultry and sustainably sourced fish from the famous Billingsgate Market.

Before we move onto the meeting space highlights, where we’ve got four amazing spaces on offer for you - it’s worth noting that the Coach pickup location is at the front of the venue at Aldermanbury and that Wi-Fi is indeed included in all packages when booking an event at The Insurance Hall.

The Insurance Hall has well-equipped and characterful spaces to suit a variety of corporate events. Registration takes place in the main lobby area before you enter, meaning guests are instantly catered for from entrance to event! - We love this space, it’s just so impressive, it could definitely host an unforgettable evening event!
