History of the Space
The hall’s namesake, Henry Hoare, was an English banker and chair of The Society for the Revival of Convocation which formed in 1850. During the Second World War, while two Houses of Parliament occupied Church House, the hall played a vital role during significant historical moments. In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill took to the stage of the Hoare Memorial Hall, announcing the sinking of the battleship Bismarck. Then in 1945, the first meetings of the United Nations Preparatory Commission and Security Council took place inside these walls.
When choosing the Hoare Memorial Hall for your corporate events, you’re inviting your guests on a journey of discovery. They’ll be immersed in the rich history waiting to be explored, while marvelling at the classic architectural features that have been carefully preserved and subtly blended with state-of-the-art technology. This prestigious setting will heighten the delegate experience for your corporate events, capturing imaginations, inspiring fresh ideas and sparking engaging conversations.
