About Venue

Crypt on the Green is one of London's most distinctive historic event venues, hidden beneath the beautiful Georgian Church of St James in the heart of Clerkenwell. Combining dramatic vaulted brick ceilings, elegant parquet flooring and contemporary design features, this unique venue offers an atmospheric setting for conferences, product launches, private dining, receptions and corporate celebrations.


Dating back to 1792, the venue seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern event facilities. While retaining its original architectural character, Crypt on the Green has been carefully restored to create a flexible blank canvas that can be transformed to suit a wide variety of event styles. Whether hosting a business conference, networking reception, awards dinner or creative brand activation, the venue provides a memorable backdrop unlike any traditional conference venue.


Located just a short walk from Farringdon Station, the venue enjoys excellent transport connections while offering a peaceful and exclusive setting away from the bustle of Central London. With four unique event spaces available for hire, Crypt on the Green is equally suited to intimate gatherings and large-scale corporate events.

Event Spaces

The Crypt

The venue's signature event space is a spectacular vaulted crypt featuring exposed brick arches, elegant parquet flooring and eight large windows that flood the room with natural daylight despite its underground location. Rich in character yet incredibly versatile, The Crypt provides a striking backdrop for conferences, gala dinners, awards ceremonies, product launches, exhibitions and standing receptions. Accommodating up to 300 guests standing or 200 theatre style, it offers a rare combination of historic architecture and flexible event space in the heart of London.


The Well

Situated directly alongside The Crypt, The Well provides an ideal supporting space for larger events. Sharing the same vaulted ceilings and contemporary styling, it works perfectly as a breakout room, green room, production office, speaker preparation area or additional networking space, allowing organisers to create seamless multi-room event experiences.


The Church

Above the crypt sits the beautifully restored Georgian church, offering a dramatic and light-filled event space with soaring ceilings and historic architectural features. Suitable for conferences, concerts, presentations, ceremonies and larger corporate events, the church provides an inspiring environment that can be hired independently or alongside the crypt to create truly memorable occasions.


The Vestry

The Vestry offers a more intimate meeting environment, ideal for board meetings, interviews, workshops, planning sessions and smaller private events. It also serves as an excellent breakout room when hired alongside the venue's larger spaces, giving organisers additional flexibility throughout their event.

Facilities and Services

Crypt on the Green operates as a flexible dry hire venue, allowing organisers to appoint their own caterers, production companies and suppliers. The venue offers complimentary WiFi, accessible facilities, in-house furniture, professional lighting, flexible layouts and the freedom to create completely bespoke events.

Location and Access

Located on Clerkenwell Close, London EC1R 0EA, Crypt on the Green is approximately five minutes' walk from Farringdon Station, providing excellent connections via the Elizabeth, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, as well as National Rail services.
