Foyer and The Crush Hall

Part of Senate House, our University of London Venues flagship building, guests entering the foyer and then Crush hall, receive the very best first impression, with a warm welcome in opulent surroundings. Whether used as an inspiring conference space, formal banqueting venue, inspiring exhibition space or as the glittering location for a cocktail party, Crush Hall epitomises the Senate House experience.

Glamorous venue that hosts film shoots, international conferences and London Fashion Week.

Our grand, historic venue welcomed virtually every significant world figure in the second half of the 20th Century, from Winston Churchill to Desmond Tutu. Now, as one of London's most striking event venues, the Crush Hall is also a stylish venue for London Fashion Week and a popular location for film shoots.

The Crush Hall was completed in 1938, and was designed to impress. Its elegance has not faded over the years and although its marbled grandeur and gold leaf point to its origins as a ceremonial space, today it is often used as a stylish and elegant venue for conferences or exhibitions. Located between the Beveridge Hall and Macmillan Hall, which are ideal for conferences and dining, Crush Hall is the perfect space for guests to talk, network or enjoy canapés and Champaign in grand surroundings.
