About Venue

Located on historic Dowgate Hill in the heart of the City of London, Tallow Chandlers' Hall is one of the capital's oldest surviving livery halls, offering a unique setting for conferences, private dining, networking events and corporate hospitality. Dating back to 1672 and occupying the same site since 1476, the Grade I listed venue combines centuries of history with beautifully preserved interiors and flexible event spaces, creating an exceptional backdrop for business and private events.
