About Venue
The Brewery has consistently been recognised as one of London's leading venues for over half a decade. Testament to this are the prestigious awards the venue has recieved for its service levels, planning and food and beverage offering.
As the capital's ultimate event venue The Brewery has hosted events ranging from government conferences, corporate product launches, star-studded charity events, prestigious award ceremonies and weddings.
The choice of six rooms, in the heart of the City, caters for 30 to 1000 people in a setting that marries 18th century architecture with cutting edge technology.
Two self-contained but interconnected rooms that provide an interesting space with a convenient and exclusive reception area. These stylish rooms retain much of their character from the original copper pipes and the sloping floors of the old brewery, but in reality, they could not be more modern.

Very good event venue in the city, easy to get to and well organised. I was attending a trade organisation, the catering was very good. Evening drinks in courtyard outside was very pleasant (weather was good). All the staff were welcoming and attentive.

I had the opportunity to attend the Walmart UK Seller Summit 2025 at The Brewery in London, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The venue itself is steeped in history yet feels modern and well-equipped for large business events. The layout was seamless — spacious conference halls for keynote sessions, breakout areas for workshops, and well-signposted networking zones. Acoustics and AV were impressive, making presentations clear even from the back rows. Catering was another highlight. The Brewery provided fresh, varied food and beverages throughout the day, including vegetarian and allergy-friendly options, which kept everyone comfortable and focused. Staff were friendly, efficient, and clearly experienced in handling high-profile corporate gatherings. Location-wise, it’s conveniently placed with easy transport links, which made attending stress-free. The mix of historic character and contemporary functionality gave the event an atmosphere that felt both professional and inspiring. Overall, The Brewery proved to be an excellent choice for Walmart’s UK Seller Summit 2025. It not only supported the logistics of a major conference but also elevated the whole experience for attendees. Highly recommended for any large-scale corporate or industry event.

I photographed a wedding here a few weeks back. Love the outside space, it's got some really interesting textures and great for outside drinks reception. Barbican is literally round the corner so it's easy to find cool spots for couples photos.
