About this venue
Grand Connaught Rooms brochureStanding on Great Queen Street, that connects Covent Garden with Holborn in the West End of London, is the Grade II* listed De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms. With a history dating back to 1775, the building has long been an important event venue, and was once home to the original Freemasons’ Tavern before becoming a hotel in 1909.
Since then, the venue has hosted some of the world‘s leading politicians, royalty and celebrities with its grand Georgian architecture and art-deco interiors offering 37 exceptional spaces for a wide range of conferences, exhibitions, celebrations and weddings.

Are there restrictions on ticket sales for events?
Yes, for ticketed events all tickets must be pre-purchased - the venue does not allow tickets to be sold on the night. This is a strict policy that applies to all ticketed events regardless of size or type.
What additional costs should I budget for beyond the base room hire?
Key additional costs include: tea, coffee & refreshments at £3.95 per person per serving (or unlimited at £11.50 per person), LCD projector & screen from £195.00 inclusive of VAT, catering options like energising lunch at £20.95 per person or sandwich lunch at £12.95 per person. For evening events, mandatory security is required at £29.40 per hour inclusive of VAT with minimum 4 hours and 2 guards for 1-200 guests.
How long can I hold a provisional booking before confirming?
The venue operates on a "joint 1st option" system for provisional bookings, but they actively follow up for decisions. Based on correspondence patterns, bookings are typically released if no updates are received within several weeks, and the venue may set specific deadlines requiring confirmation by a certain date and time or the booking will be released.
What AV equipment is included and what costs extra?
Basic AV included in Day Delegate Rates consists of 1 flipchart and 3000 lumen LCD projector & screen (8"x6"). Additional AV equipment is available at extra cost - LCD projector & screen starts from £195.00 inclusive of VAT, and upgrades to bigger screens are recommended for larger events at additional charges. The venue can request quotes from their AV supplier for specific requirements.
What are the operating hours and any time restrictions?
Standard meeting room hire typically runs 09:00-17:00, though some quotes show flexibility with timings like 08:30 starts. All spaces must be vacated by 17:00 or additional de-rig charges apply for day events. Evening events can run until 01:00, and setup time from 06:00-09:00 is available complimentary for larger events.
Are there any mandatory charges I need to know about?
Yes, security is compulsory for evening events at £29.40 per hour inclusive of VAT based on guest numbers: 1-200 guests require 2 guards, 201-400 guests need 4 guards, 401-600 need 6 guards. Minimum booking is 4 hours and must be paid no later than 1 month prior to the event. Some quotes also mention a discretionary 3% service charge may be added to final invoices.
What catering options are available and how do minimum spends work?
Catering ranges from basic refreshments to full meals. Post-meeting drinks require minimum F&B spends - typically £3,000-£5,000 inclusive of VAT with at least 50% spent on food. If the guaranteed minimum spend isn't reached, the remaining balance is charged as room hire. Unlimited drinks packages are available: 1 hour £25pp, 2 hours £45pp, 3 hours £70pp, with prosecco adding £10pp.
