The Chartered Accountants' Hall is a great place for conferences and meetings. Located in the heart of the city, this is a magnificent 19th century building designed in the Italian Renaissance style and a thriving conference and function centre providing a prestigious and sophisticated environment for conferences, banquets, exhibitions and receptions. The Small Reception Room provides an intimate setting for sit down lunches, dinners, receptions and presentations. The furnishings are largely 18th and 19th century with the main feature of the room being the fine bronze fireplace by Alfred Stevens, representative of the Victorian age. The Great Hall provides spacious air-conditioned accommodation for presentations, receptions, exhibitions and dinners. It features several works of art, including two glass engravings by David Kindersley which appear over the main entrance. In 1980 Eduardo Paolozzi was commissioned to design a tapestry, which now hangs on the east wall. Three paintings of Buckden Church and Palace, St. David's Cathedral and Conisburgh Castle by John Piper are featured in specially designed sections opposite the main windows. The Great Hall's refurbishment in 2001 included the installation of a unique, state-of-the-art split screen system; the only one of it's kind in London. The Main Reception Room is almost certainly the focal point of the building. It features a circular dome, designed in such a way that one's eye is drawn naturally upwards. The bold but simple stone columns support semi circular galleries with stone balustrades. From the dome hangs an English glass chandelier and the walls and ceiling contain striking murals by George Murray. All the windows are stained glass incorporating traditional figures. This stunning room is suitable for a variety of events from sit down lunches, dinners and receptions to meetings and presentations. Equipped with videoconferencing facilities and satellite television, the Committee Rooms provide facilities for smaller meetings, and are all elegantly furnished, each with an individual style. Part of the original Belcher building, the Council Chamber seats 96 people in amphitheatre style. The room features two large batik tapestries specially made in Sri Lanka. With full audio-visual capabilities and ceiling mounted screen, the Council Chamber is highly suited for training, seminars, lectures and presentations.
