Click for travel directions The Grand Connaught Rooms offer some of the most luxurious and beautifully finished conferencing facilities in London and they take up an excellent position near Covent Garden in the centre of the nation’s capital. It is possible to hold all sorts of activities and events in this striking setting, from wedding receptions and banquets through to board meetings and training. The flexibility of the rooms and their variety of size ensures occasions both large and small are possible as well as everything in between.

Opened as the Grand Connaught Rooms towards the end of 2009, the venue was previously known as the New Connaught Rooms. The property was constructed in 1775 and in recent times has developed an ability to embrace and take on top business events and other occasions. It started out life as the Freemasons’ Tavern and the Freemasons continue their use of this part of the city as well as the Connaught Rooms to this day.

Though it has no bedrooms of its own visitors using this facility can make the most of any other West End property for accommodation such as the Hotel Russell on Russell Square or the Kingsway Hall next door. The rooms’ position on Great Queen Street puts it just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden and so visitors can enjoy a trip to this cultural part of the city during their time in the area. There are plenty of other attractions dotted around this part of London as well as a number of theatres, restaurants and shops to explore.
