DREAM LOCATIONS London’s most idyllic venues MERCHANT TAYLORS’ HALL 020 7450 4445 | www.uniquelondonvenue.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Stepping through the blue doors of this 700-year- old building on Threadneedle Street is like stepping into a different world. The stunning architecture and ornamental features tell a story of British history, while its Gothic window frames display a contrast against the contemporary London skyline. At the heart of the hall is the stone-flagged, fragrant Courtyard Garden. LET’S CELEBRATE! This exclusive-use venue offers a range of memorable spaces. Ceremonies are held in the magnificent 14 th - century Great Hall with its 13-metre high ceilings, stained-glass windows and twinkling chandeliers. Smaller ceremonies of up to 90 people can opt for the wood- panelled Parlour or the pretty Drawing Room with its hand-painted Chinese silk wallpaper. With a beautiful courtyard in the middle to host drinks, there are also nine spaces to choose from to accommodate an intimate reception or a grand affair of 350 loved ones. WE LOVE… This venue has 700 years’ experience in hosting events and boasts the oldest working kitchens in the City. Couples can opt for anything from a silver-service banquet to street food, and menu tastings are complimentary.  LOCAL VENUES 29
