Character, Charm and a Stunning Backdrop
When you plan a press conference, inviting journalists, stakeholders and colleagues to hear about your latest product launch or major announcement, the chances are you will default to booking a traditional corporate event venue as opposed to an historic building in London.
In doing so, you will also miss out on the character, charm and stunning backdrop, along with digital connectivity, AV equipment and branding opportunities that an event space like Glaziers Hall could bring.
As a venue that is located less than a two-minute walk from London Bridge Station, Glaziers Hall is also very accessible. What’s more, with a convenient loading bay right outside the front door, set up and breakdown is made simple.
With seven unique spaces to choose from, there is a room that can be dressed to impress.
Unique Spaces and Occasions
While we have had our fair share of press conferences, with everything from the latest wine collections and seasonal showcases right through to fashion shows and book launches, we’ve also welcomed some less obvious clients to the venue.
For example, hosting a press conference for a political party ahead of the last general election. Clearly, as well as the security that was required, there was also the need for spaces that could be used for preparation ahead of the main event.
We’ve also welcomed broadcasters and fight promoters to announce the next rising stars and boxing champions to take their place in the ring. While our Grade II-listed venue might not be the most obvious choice at first glance, it’s precisely this contrast that makes it so compelling.
A Setting That Packs a Punch
Built-in 1808 and overlooking the River Thames, the building tells its own story. One that can elevate your event and grab the media’s attention.
Far from a bland setting, with beige walls and meaningless artworks, the spaces are full of character and charm. There are light and bright spaces, bold and impressive spaces, unique spaces and those that are steeped with tradition.
There’s something undeniably powerful about holding a press conference in a space that is steeped in history. It adds drama. Gravitas. And let’s be honest, it delivers the perfect backdrop for those critical press shots.
Behind the Scenes
We know that no two press conferences are the same. Whether you are going for a seated arrangement, a panel discussion setup or a face-off moment under dramatic lighting, the seven spaces at Glaziers Hall offer the flexibility needed to bring your vision to life.
Popular choices include:
This space has grand proportions and can hold up to three hundred delegates theatre style, making a real statement for larger media events.
