About Venue
Located on Lower Clapton Road in the heart of East London, Hackney Church is one of London's most impressive contemporary event venues, combining Grade II* listed architecture with state-of-the-art production facilities following its award-winning restoration. Blending heritage, minimalist design and cutting-edge technology, the venue offers an exceptional setting for conferences, product launches, awards ceremonies, exhibitions, concerts and large-scale corporate events.
Originally built in 1792 and extensively restored by acclaimed architect John Pawson, the venue has been transformed into a flexible events destination while retaining its striking historic character. The vast nave, supported by contemporary back-of-house spaces and production facilities, allows organisers to create everything from immersive brand experiences and gala dinners to conferences, fashion shows and live performances.
Situated in Hackney just minutes from the City of London, the venue benefits from excellent transport links and a distinctive architectural setting that offers a memorable alternative to traditional conference and exhibition venues.
