Rehearsals

Located just a two-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, our Grade II* listed building is the perfect location for rehearsals, auditions and read-throughs in the heart of Central London.

We regularly host professional and amateur companies and ensembles in our historic spaces. Our versatile rooms provide a unique backdrop for rehearsals of music, theatre, dance and much more.

Our spaces can be adapted to suit your needs, whether you require a sprung dance floor, a grand piano, high ceilings, natural light or a staging area.

The Great Hall has hosted many of the country’s finest orchestras. It benefits from high ceilings, sound panels and an inbuilt stage, as well as private access to the Green Room and a Steinway grand piano. For smaller companies, we also have a range of rooms suitable for table reads or rehearsals.

Our experienced events team is always happy to discuss any technical requirements with you.
