The Furniture Makers' Hall
A venue with history

Furniture Makers’ Hall offers 3 distinct event spaces
for hosting your event in a historic venue.

The original tenants were Fruhling and Goschen, a banking house founded in Leipzig that had come to London sometime around 1800 and it was a George Goschen that actually began work on the building in 1853. He was later to become 1st Viscount Goschen, MP for the City of London, a director of the Bank of England, First Lord of the Admiralty twice, President of the Royal Statistical Society, Chancellor of Oxford University, and Chancellor of the Exchequer for five years from 1887-1892.

When London was hit by German bombing in 1940, the damage to number 12 was mostly superficial with damage to the windows and the front of the building. Contrast this with the church across the street which, having stood since 1350, was completely destroyed.

Today, the Hall is a popular venue for conferences, meetings, onsite filming, exhibitions & banquets and serves a discerning and broad clientele from inside and outside the Square Mile.

The blank canvas features of the venue makes for a perfect backdrop for all your filming and photography needs, whether its for TV, film or photoshoots.
