Church House Westminster

What Church House Westminster does

Church House Westminster is a Grade II listed multi-purpose event and conference venue located in Dean's Yard, Westminster, London, with heritage ties to royalty, Parliament, and the Second World War. The venue operates 17 flexible event spaces across three size tiers (large, medium, and small), including the Assembly Hall, Harvey Goodwin Suite, and Hoare Memorial Hall, supported by an in-house Events and Audio-Visual Team with over 20 years of experience and a dedicated catering partnership with Searcy's. Its core offering is space rental for corporate conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies, product launches, international summits, weddings, filming, and exhibitions, generating revenue primarily through venue hire fees and complementary in-house AV production services. The venue serves a diverse client base spanning corporate enterprises, religious organizations, education institutions, professional bodies, NGOs, and government-adjacent international entities, and extends its distribution through an online enquiry and instant booking system, telephone sales, and participation in industry trade shows such as IMEX Frankfurt. The business holds multiple sustainability certifications (ECOSmart Platinum, Silver Eco Church, carbon neutral achieved six years ahead of target) and operates the on-site Church House Café as a recurring F&B asset.
