Why Hire
Mary Ward House offers something increasingly difficult to find in Central London: a substantial conference venue with genuine architectural character. Rather than a collection of standard hotel meeting rooms, its spaces range from the soaring Mary Ward Hall to rooms with fireplaces, exposed brickwork, parquet floors and original period features.
The room inventory is particularly useful for complex events. Mary Ward Hall can accommodate a large plenary session while the numerous smaller rooms support simultaneous workshops, meetings and breakout sessions within the same building. Brewer & Smith also provides a substantial secondary event space for exhibitions, catering, networking or a second conference stream.
Its Bloomsbury location is another significant advantage, particularly for national conferences. Euston, King's Cross St Pancras and Russell Square are all within easy reach, providing straightforward access for delegates arriving from across London, the UK and internationally.
