The Roman Amphitheatre was the first building constructed on the site of Guildhall and dates back to AD70. Guildhall is the perfect location for large events – its Great Hall (the largest of its many event spaces), can accommodate over 600 guests for dinner and 900 for a standing reception. Designed to reflect the power of London and its leaders, Guildhall has also been the setting for state trials (most famously, that of Lady Jane Grey) and has events at its heart, having played host to the annual Lord Mayor’s banquet since 1502. Sitting in the heart of the City and home to the City of London Corporation since the middle ages, Guildhall’s magnificent Grade I listed architecture is steeped in history and atmosphere.
