Venue Hire
Built over 100 years ago Toynbee Hall is a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts building and retains many of its original features. Situated within easy reach of the City, Liverpool Street Station and Aldgate East Underground Station, Toynbee Hall offers a convenient yet unique venue for a variety of events.
There are two halls available for hire, the Ashbee Hall and the Lecture Hall. Both halls can both seat up to 100 people theatre style. There is also a meeting room for hire, the Library that can seat 16 people boardroom style or up to 30 people theatre style.
Lecture Hall: An elegant wood-panelled room complete with latticed windows with mullioned surrounds, wooden floor and a carved wood and marble fireplace.
Ashbee Hall: The Room is still decorated in the arts and crafts style, retaining 'tree of life' medallions, Toynbee Hall’s logo, on the walls and shields of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges. Latticed windows with mullioned surrounds, wooden flooring and a marble and wood fireplace all help to create a unique atmosphere in this historic room. There is also a grand piano in the Ashbee Hall that can be used with your hall booking.
Some comments by past users
- This is to thank you for letting us use your wonderful hall at Toynbee, which proved to be the perfect venue for our event last week. We've had lots of positive feedback form our guests, and the service really was top quality all round.
- Your staff were great - as were the recommended caterers. All in all our leaving do was a big success and I won't hesitate to recommend Toynbee Hall to others for future events like ours.
