About
Bishopsgate Institute
Bishopsgate Institute is one of the City of London’s most distinctive historic event venues, housed within a Grade II* listed Victorian building dating from 1895. Located directly opposite Liverpool Street Station, the venue combines grand period architecture with contemporary event facilities and a collection of spaces ranging from the impressive Great Hall to intimate meeting rooms and its atmospheric Victorian Library.
The Institute can accommodate events from small meetings through to receptions for up to 400 guests, with dedicated event management, high-speed WiFi and AV support available. It is particularly well suited to conferences, receptions, dinners, meetings, rehearsals, filming, private events and corporate away days.

Why Hire
Bishopsgate Institute combines historic character with unusually practical conference infrastructure for a heritage venue.
The Great Hall provides the scale for larger conferences, dinners and receptions, while the Upper Hall can support catering, exhibitions or parallel sessions. The Library adds a completely different atmosphere for more intimate events, while the Courtyard Room, Studio, Goss Room, Boardroom and Townsend Room provide extensive breakout and meeting options.
Its location is also a major advantage. Being almost immediately opposite Liverpool Street Station makes it one of the easiest heritage venues in the City for delegates travelling from across London and the wider UK.
