Nestled in Central London, Toynbee Hall offers fantastic spaces catering for meetings, conferences, training and events. Our unique historic venue for hire provides the perfect backdrop for your reception or team building session.

Right from its inception in 1884, Toynbee Hall has supported great people to realise their dreams and ambitions for a better society. Home to some of the most iconic event spaces in London, our community halls are now available for bookings.

Our previous guests include notable people like William Beveridge, Clement Attlee, Pierre de Coubertin, the Barnett family and many others. In the 19th century, Henrietta Barnett became an iconic figure at Toynbee Hall for setting the groundwork in hospitality, networking and event planning.

Lecture Hall Home of great debates since 1884, the Lecture Hall is our largest space hosting up to 100 people comfortably. A beautiful space that has hosted many historic events and people; interestingly, Lenin, the former leader of the Soviet Union, visited once.

Toynbee’s Lecture Hall is now available to hire for your next corporate event. We can host conferences, board meetings and training sessions of up to 100 people. Boasting tall ceilings and impressive acoustics, the Lecture Hall is ideal for business events and corporate presentations.

Ashbee Hall Named after CR Ashbee, this historic room was fully restored in 2018 and is now available for hire for both corporate and private events. 

Ashbee Hall is among the few event venues in London to have hosted many great dinners of the Arts and Crafts Movement. With its beautiful floor and period features it is a fantastic place to have your board meeting or away day, host a dinner or run a training programme.

Meeting Room 1 A minimalistic modern space with a capacity of up to 40 people, in a lecture style layout. This space can be used as a training classroom or a private dining room. Meeting Room 1 is conveniently connected to the Ashbee Hall via internal doors.

The Ashbee Hall is in turn connected with the Lecture Hall, which means that all 3 rooms can be used concurrently. This is particularly useful for larger events and conferences, as it allows a smooth transition between the modern and historic spaces.

Meeting Room 2 and 3 Our most flexible space – meeting room 2 and 3 can be configured as two separate spaces with capacities of 16 and 40 or as one large space with a capacity of 55 people. A modern space, Meeting Room 2 & 3 brings a contemporary twist to our historic grade II listed building.

Bright and modern, it works great as a breakout space for a larger event. Toynbee Hall also provides meeting room hire for board meetings and small training sessions.
