INTRODUCTION
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY OF LONDON, DRAPERS’ HALL PROVIDES A MAJESTIC SETTING FOR ANY EVENT.
On the site of the present Drapers’ Hall, once part of the Augustinian Priory, Thomas Cromwell built his palace in the 1530s. After his execution, the property was purchased by the Guild of Drapers in 1543 from Henry VIII.

Adorned with beautiful Victorian crystal chandeliers and Herbert Draper’s striking painting ‘The Gates of Dawn’, the room is a fi lm-maker’s paradise. The wonderful decor creates a relaxed atmosphere and sets the scene for any occasion. Due to the decor, we regret that dark drinks and food are not permitted in this room.
