St Paul's Cathedral,
Widely considered to be one of the world's most beautiful buildings, St Paul's is the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of London, and the fifth Cathedral to stand on the site since 604AD. The present building, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th century, has become a potent symbol of the life of the nation and of the cosmopolitan city in which it is located. There are a number of dramatically different (although equally compelling) event spaces available for hire in and around St Paul’s Cathedral. Its historic visual splendour is guaranteed to charm and inspire all who visit, and the location can accommodate 2 to 75 delegates for meetings and conferences; up to 250 guests for an elegant seated dinner; and up to 350 visitors for reception drinks.

Additional Information
The Wren Suite is available for both day and evening hire, and makes an exceptional space in which to meet and work. The Suite, with its golden stone walls and vaulted ceilings, is comprised of two rooms including 'the Beehive'. Here, the peace and splendour of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece are combined with the comfort and convenience of 21st century facilities.
‘The Beehive’ – a domed circular ante-chamber – is an ideal space for pre-meeting refreshments and reception drinks; break-out sessions; buffets; and intimate lunch or dinner parties. Its unique acoustics and atmospheric ambience make the room a distinctive addition to the Suite.
The Crypt of St Paul’s is the largest in Europe, and is a beautiful and exclusive space for corporate events. The inspiring surroundings are the final resting place of some of the nation’s greatest heroes, poets and scientists, including Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington.
The tomb of Admiral Lord Nelson stands proudly in a central vaulted space directly beneath the Cathedral’s Dome. The Nelson Chamber, with its atmospheric lighting, is a wonderful setting for pre-dinner drinks. It is advisable to hire this space when a large number of guests are attending a dinner in the Crypt.
Also available for smaller events is Sir Christopher Wren's Temple Bar, a structure which was originally designed and built as the ceremonial gateway to the City of London.
