About

Skinners' Hall

About Venue

Located at 8½ Dowgate Hill in the heart of the City of London, Skinners' Hall is one of London's most remarkable historic event venues. Home to the Worshipful Company of Skinners for over 700 years, the Grade I listed building has recently undergone a £20 million restoration, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with exceptional contemporary event facilities. The result is an elegant and highly versatile venue for conferences, awards dinners, networking events, private dining and corporate hospitality.

Hidden behind ceremonial gates and a beautifully landscaped courtyard, Skinners' Hall offers an impressive collection of historic rooms, contemporary meeting spaces and a stunning Italianate roof terrace. Original artwork, period interiors and outstanding hospitality create a unique atmosphere that feels more like a private country house than a City venue whilst remaining just moments from Cannon Street and Bank.

Available for exclusive hire, the venue provides one of London's most distinctive settings for business events and private celebrations.
