One Moorgate Place

Two distinct characters share a single Grade II listed building in the City. One Moorgate Place — officially the Chartered Accountants' Hall — pairs ornate Victorian reception rooms featuring a domed ceiling, glass chandeliers, stained glass, and commissioned artworks by Eduardo Paolozzi, Gerald Benney, and John Piper with a Great Hall that operates as a genuine blank canvas for up to 400 guests. Built in 1890 by Sir John Belcher RA for the Institute of Chartered Accountants, the building gives corporate events and celebrations the gravitas of a heritage institution without the rigidity that often comes with listed buildings.

Heritage Rooms at One Moorgate Place

The Main Reception Room is the building's showpiece heritage space — a domed ceiling, bold stone columns, stained glass windows, a glass chandelier, and murals by George Murray create an interior that stops arriving guests in their tracks. It holds up to 300 for standing receptions, 70 seated, or 40 cabaret. The Members' Room offers a different register entirely: a Rialto Bridge-style balustrade, rare books, and a portrait gallery that seats 45 for intimate banquets or 80 standing. The OMP Club provides private dining for up to 20 with an eight-course tasting menu option. These rooms give event planners the ability to match each moment of an event — arrival drinks, dinner, after-party — to a space with its own character.

The Great Hall

The 1970 Art Deco extension houses One Moorgate Place's largest space. Soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and a neutral aesthetic create a blank canvas that handles heavy theming and event production as comfortably as it hosts a formal conference. Capacity reaches 400 standing, 270 theatre, and 200 banquet. The direct connection to the Main Reception Room creates seamless flow — drinks in the domed heritage space, dinner or presentations in the Great Hall — without guests navigating corridors or staircases.

Conferencing and Practicalities at One Moorgate Place

The purpose-built Auditorium seats 107 in tiered rows with blackout capability, state-of-the-art AV, push-to-talk microphones, and USB charging at every seat — a dedicated presentation space that smaller meetings and seminars can use without hiring the Great Hall. A Business Centre accommodates up to 70, and multiple meeting rooms and boardrooms handle everything from six-person conversations to 24-seat strategy sessions. Searcys provides exclusive in-house catering across all spaces. Alcohol licence runs until 1am with extensions available. The venue is wedding licensed, and lift access operates throughout. Moorgate station sits directly nearby, placing the venue at the centre of the City's transport network.
