About us

The Inner Temple is one of the few remaining Georgian style event halls in the City of London suitable for hosting a variety of events.

In the heart of London’s legal quarter, conveniently situated in the renowned ‘Midtown’ district between the City and West End and in close proximity to the Strand, Fleet Street and Embankment, The Inner Temple is an impressive, unique and accessible setting for entertaining in style.

After an extensive 3-year refurbishment, The Inner Temple is open and welcoming meetings and events. The major redevelopment provides state-of-the-art, purpose-built facilities, including a 120-seat lecture theatre and eight new meeting rooms.
