Iconic Wedding Venue with Photogenic Surroundings

Banking Hall has a rich history serving as the headquarters of Lloyd’s Bank until 2002. Beautifully and sensitively converted into a remarkable event space, it still retains many of the original features, offering a sense of historical grandeur as well as an abundance of character and charm, making it the perfect backdrop and natural home for elegant wedding ceremonies and receptions.

The long, grand Main Hall is fit for a regal banquet and comes with a built-in stage and dance floor. The Counting Room, a smaller space on the mezzanine level, overlooks the Bank of England and features a stunning brass-topped bar that makes it a great break out space for drinks or relaxing after your wedding breakfast.

The experienced in-house events team and dedicated wedding coordinators are flexible, knowledgeable, and creative, giving you endless options for your wedding day. The creativity doesn’t stop there: Camm & Hooper is renowned for its innovative catering and 50-strong cocktail list, too.

  1. People couldn’t stop talking about the venue - the chicken was a particular hit - best I’ve ever had, and the overall service from the staff was good. Sandro was great, constantly around and making sure everything was okay. Everything was seamless with the suppliers and I was never without a piña colada!! I probably drank the bar dry of Pineapple juice. So again, we both had the most incredible day!

  2. Overall, Gus and I were incredibly happy with the day. We had such an amazing time and we both wanted to acknowledge you and the rest of the team on the night. It was absolutely outstanding service (our guests commented on how impressive the operation was), we kept to time and were impressed by how friendly and accommodating the staff were

Our 5 steps to your perfect wedding

  1. You're engaged!

    If the newlyweds we party with all year round are anything to go by, the first thing you did, after the shock and delight of the proposal, was make a list – who do you want to invite? Banking Hall can seat up to 280 guests for dinner in the main hall, up to 800 for a standing reception, and we also have intimate spaces for smaller affairs. We’ve got you covered!

  2. DIY or don’t lift a finger?

    Obviously you are our main VIP – if you say you want to handle the flowers, the music and the decorations, that’s fine by us. BUT we have really special relationships with our year round VIPs (Vendors in Partnership) who can provide flowers, hotels, DJs, photobooths, the works. We’re happy to talk you through all the options and put together a package that works with your budget.

  3. It's delicious first

    Our food and beverage offering is truly one of a kind. Whether it’s a sit down meal, or our ‘Cornucopia Counters’ we have something to suit you!

  4. With you every step

    Our experienced and dedicated events planners are on hand from start to finish so you can actually enjoy the build up, and the big day! We have packages to take the stress out of decision making, or we’re more than happy to put together a bespoke event if you want to add your own personal touches. Once we’ve had a chat, we’ll invite you to come down and meet us, while we show you around the venue.
