Venue


About Drapers Hall

The Worshipful Company of Drapers is one of the 111 livery companies of the City of London. The grandeur of Drapers’ Hall in the City of London can be felt as soon as one steps through the heavy copper doors and into the large oak panelled entrance hall. From here, a majestic staircase rises up to the main venue spaces. Fashioned from marble and featuring an Italian carved alabaster balustrade beneath a glorious stained-glass window, the staircase creates an exquisite backdrop for photographs. This very grand Livery Hall includes four finely decorated main rooms, a historic garden and courtyard.
