About Venue

Located in the heart of the City of London, The HAC (Honourable Artillery Company) is one of the capital's most prestigious event venues, combining elegant Georgian architecture with a spectacular five-acre private estate to create an exceptional setting for conferences, meetings, summer parties, awards dinners and corporate events.

Home to the historic Armoury House and one of the largest private gardens in Central London, The HAC offers an impressive collection of event spaces ranging from grand banqueting rooms and contemporary meeting suites to outdoor marquees and exclusive garden events.
