Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner Venue in London

The main hall is what sets Town Hall apart. 800 square metres of flexible space with soaring 13-metre ceilings, a grand stage and generous proportions that give a gala dinner real presence without ever feeling cold.

The room seats 270 guests on banquet rounds on the main floor, with space for a further 50 on the mezzanine, and holds up to 800 for a standing reception. Layouts flex to match the evening: classic rounds for a traditional gala, communal tables for something more contemporary, or an open floor built around the stage and a dancefloor.

For anyone searching for a large gala dinner venue in London with the scale for dramatic décor, hanging installations and full production, this is a rare find in central London.

Town Hall is chosen by organisers who want the evening to feel like an event in its own right:

• Industry awards ceremonies with staged presentations and winners’ walks

• Charity galas and fundraising dinners, often paired with our charity event venue services

• Corporate annual dinners and end-of-year celebrations for corporate events of every size

• Gala dinners and dinner dances with live bands and a packed dancefloor

• Ceremony and after-party combinations that run seamlessly across both spaces

Whatever the format, the venue flexes to match it.

How many guests can the venue hold for an awards ceremony or gala dinner?

Where is the venue and how do guests get there?

Town Hall is in Kings Cross, central London, steps from Kings Cross and St Pancras stations and an eight-minute walk from Euston. Underground, national rail and Eurostar links are all within walking distance, with plenty of hotels nearby for guests staying over.

Does the venue have a stage and production for an awards ceremony?

Yes. The grand stage is built for ceremonies, with sound, lighting and video projection handled by in-house production partner Pixl. Winners’ walks, keynote speeches, live performances and sponsor screen content are all part of a normal night here.

Is there backstage space for hosts and performers?

Yes. Green rooms give hosts, presenters and performers somewhere to prepare away from the floor, and dedicated entrances allow red carpet arrivals with a photo backdrop or step-and-repeat.

Is there space for a drinks reception or after-party?

Yes. Inner Space, a 670 square metre contemporary space connected to the main hall, hosts drinks receptions before dinner and after-parties once the ceremony ends. The venue’s alcohol licence runs until 4am.

Is catering included?

Yes. Rhubarb Hospitality Collection provides tailored menus and bar service for every gala and awards night at Town Hall, timed around your ceremony and designed around your tastes and dietary requirements.
