Located in the heart of the East End, minutes from Bank station and the heart of central London, the People's Palace was unveiled following a £6.3m refurbishment. Home to a technically advanced 770 seat theatre with retractable seating, dressing rooms and one of London's largest stages. Originally opened in the 1930s, this art-deco masterpiece has seen the likes of the Rolling Stones grace its stage. The space lends itself to a myriad of uses: performances, gigs, lectures and talks, filming, rehearsals and conferences.
The Great Hall provides an ideal space for those seeking an inspiring and unusual art-deco venue, alongside contemporary audio-visual and creature comforts. With seating over two levels, the venue can accommodate up to 770 delegates (360 lower / 470 upper). Featuring retractable seating on the lower level, the space also lends itself to events needing an open solution for networking, informal conversation or exhibitions.

Was here for an Islamic themed pantomime, this is also the hall where I had my Masters graduation from Queen Mary Uni. Great hall, and nostalgic vibes
