Turners

Attended a corporate presentation here and the venue staff and lunch provided was incredible . Would highly recommend this venue for any company

Great place. Not very big but great staff will compensate this.

Never actually been inside simply picked this point on my knowledge run.... in lighten me if you must

This is a grand, spacious and impressive as it's possible to get in an events hall. Prestigious and steeped in history the whole complex is worth a wander around regardless your real reason for being there. There rooftop terrace on a summer's evening is as welcome as it is unexpected. The location - around the corner from Cannon St railway/tube station - makes it easy to find and access. It's well worth dressing smartly when visiting as you will feel horribly out of place in jeans and tee-shirt!

Was there for a wedding and the decor was top notch!

Attended a work Christmas party. Impressed with the history of the place and the building . The staff were lovely. The food was not the main attraction unfortunately. I would recommend the venue.

Atmospheric iconic and historic. Added to fact it is run by the terrific team of Paul and Wayne with catering supplied by Party Ingredients what more is there to ask.

Nice venue for a corporate party. Old without feeling dingy

Skinners Hall dates from 1670 when it reopened having been rebuilt after the Great Fire of London. The Hall comprises a variety of outstanding inside and outdoor spaces. This fine facility combines stately halls, elegant chambers and homely rooms with a warm atmosphere and modern amenities. Sknners Hall, a scheduled Ancient Monument, has an unrivalled collection of art, artefacts and historic furniture. Skinners Hall is the home of The Worshipful Company of Skinners, one of the City of London s Great Twelve Livery companies. The Livery developed from the medieval trade guild of furriers; the part religious, part secular fraternities of men involved in the fur trade eventually came together in one guild, dedicated to Corpus Christi, which became the Skinners Company. The Company were responsible for ensuring the quality of furs and had control over the London fur trade throughout the country. Foreign competition and change in fashion saw the industry decline, and by the end of the 16th century the majority of prominent Company members were not skinners by trade. Nowadays the Skinners Company is a major not-for-profit organisation with main activities being education and philanthropy. One of the very desirable things the Company does is make their premises available for event hire thus ensuring that there is an ongoing connection with past and present. We were guests of the Fan Makers Livery, and can vouch for the magnificent premises and the The Hall is a truly beautiful backdrop for dinner. As the saying on the two pound coin says, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants", a concept which has been traced to the 12th century, attributed to Bernard of Chartres. Its most familiar expression in English is by Isaac Newton in 1675: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." And as Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The Skinners Company and deserves a lot of appreciation and respect for their endeavors and offerings to present day businesses and people to assist us in remembering where we came from, and help us decide where and what we should be moving toward. If you have need a venue for your event, or just to visit and tour, I can't recommend a better place to do so. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. PS - bonus information: the Skinners are one of the two Companies that lost track of their rank in the Livery standings - No. 6 or No. 7 - hence the saying "At the sixes and sevens". That has been sorted for many years, and the Skinners are No. 6 at the time this review was written. A visit to the Skinners doesn't get more English and unique than this.

Food excellent as well as wine and service. Moist imporyant is the company, extremely friendly and good speakers

Had a lovely meal with the livery company. Caterers are excellent and the wine and port was all nice too. Staff were professional and unobtrusive. Building is beautiful, as is the case with many of the livery clmpany buildings. Feels like a very large house, rather than a hall, which is nice for intimacy of events.

Good hospitality, excellent private room and good food.

This is one of London's oldest and most important Livery Companies. It is not open to the general public but if you are invited as a guest to one of their formal dinners you must attend. Traditional building steeped in history. Skinners support many charities and schools. Long may it's traditions continue.

What an excellent venue for a gala event. Great location excellent food and drinks. Right next door to Canon Street station.

Historical venue with great character; friendly and helpful staff and good ambience and decor, really nice place for Corporate events and presentations.

Was here for a wedding. Decor is excellent, food and champagne reception was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

great venue, but food a little disappointing and service was very slow

Nice venue for conferences and events. Has the character you'd expect from a building of this age

fantastic venue, amazing staff and i felt very welcome, food was amazing and unique and i would recommend for anyone to have an event there for any occasions.

From the outside it is an unassuming building. Once inside it opens up to become a wonderful and amazing house. It is a lot larger than first thought and is steeped in history. An amazing place.

Lovely venue in the heart of the city. Great courtyard for events weather permitting.
