the venue

De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms

Dating back to 1775, the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms​ have long been an important event venue, and was once home to the original Freemasons’ Tavern before becoming a hotel in 1909.

Since then, the venue has hosted some of the world‘s leading politicians, royalty and celebrities with its grand Georgian architecture and art-deco interiors offering 37 exceptional spaces for a wide range of conferences, exhibitions, meetings, training and weddings.

 

Getting there and away

The venue is located at 61 – 65 Great Queen Street , London WC2B 5DA
