Central Hall, Westminster, London
A unique and historic building, positioned across the road from Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament.
Within the walls operates a conference and exhibition centre, a concert hall, an art gallery, serviced offices, a Methodist church, a tourist attraction and a public café. This affordable, versatile, venue offers organisers fifteen various size meeting rooms with natural day light and black out facilities, plus numerous other spaces for syndicate rooms, offices, exhibitions and dinners. Opened in the autumn of 1912, this unique Edwardian building, erected to mark the centenary of John Wesley's death, became one of London's premier meeting places and concert venues. Hosting events of national and international importance.
The Suffragettes, campaigning for the vote for women, met here in 1914, Mahatma Gandhi spoke in the Lecture Hall in 1932, and General de Gaulle founded the free French here in the early 1940s. Perhaps most famously, Central Hall was the chosen venue for the very first General Assembly of the newly formed United Nations, in 1946. A time that saw the appointment of the first Secretary General, along with the creation of the Security Council and the International Court of Justice.
