Conway Hall opened in 1929 and named in honour of Moncure Daniel Conway, anti-slavery advocate, outspoken supporter of free thought and biographer of Thomas Paine.

The venue is Grade 2 listed and offers hirers various event spaces, especially the Main Hall with its highly-regarded acoustics. The venue is unique for providing a central London location and a building with character, steeped in history, combined with cutting-edge AV facilities.

Owned by Conway Hall Ethical Society, a charity, the building is famous for being the birthplace of humanism, as well as hosting the longest run of classical concerts in the UK (which started in 1880 at the Society’s previous site), jazz concerts in the 1930s, a rare UK appearance from Muddy Waters and gigs by Crass and The Cure in 1970s, as well as many other concerts, including James Blake and La Roux, and events of all kinds since.

Today, Conway Hall is a popular, accessible, venue for location filming, conferences, presentations, concerts, talks, fashion shows, weddings, awards ceremonies and brand activations.

    I visited for Fabrizio Paterlini’s piano concert. What a treat, as the artist himself exclaims, the hall has an outstanding sound quality. Perhaps it is the shallow curve of the ceiling in the main hall and the wood panelling, the sound is full and carries evenly to each corner of the space. The main hall has large area to seat up to 350, with balcony space for a further 150. Conway hall also has a few side halls and rooms making this a versatile area for events up to a medium size. There are two ladies rest rooms and a men’s rest room, plus a bar at which prices were reasonable for London. A lovely venue close to Holborn tube, bus routes, taxis and a ten minute walk to Farringdon
