Located on the banks of the River Thames at Blackfriars, leading conference and events venue,

The Mermaid London, is a unique and customisable blank canvas boasting nine versatile and adaptable events spaces. This includes the City of London’s only 600-seat Auditorium, providing extraordinary acoustics and sightlines, and the enchanting River Rooms with their breathtaking views over the capital’s skyline.

As an autonomous and independently owned venue, The Mermaid London embraces the freedom and flexibility this provides to create unique, innovative and out-of-the-box events. Able to hold multiple events simultaneously, it caters for everything from private parties, product launches and exhibitions to award ceremonies, seated dinners and conferences.

With its premium partnerships with expert branding, event production, and catering specialists, The Mermaid London removes the stress of co-ordinating multiple external suppliers to deliver reliable support for every event in a convenient, tailored and top-quality package.

Alongside the venue’s phenomenal location and unbeatable transport links, its unparalleled views over the capital, including Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern and The Shard, and an events team defined by imagination, dedication and expertise, are at the heart of why so many clients come back to The Mermaid London time and again.

Located on the first floor of The Mermaid London, this event space is incredibly well-equipped and has been designed to meet the needs of exhibitors and larger conferences.

It is a highly flexible space with interconnecting walls that can be divided into four smaller spaces; Aldgate, Bishopsgate, Cripplegate and Dowgate, or when using Bishopsgate, Cripplegate and Dowgate, this makes the Newgate event space. The walls can also be used as whiteboards so your meeting can get creative! Click here to see for yourself how this versatile space can be transformed.

    Had our company's christmas event here. Spacious auditorium and backstage area where food & drink were served. Facilities were satisfactory and it is pretty easy to get to.

    Great experience, nice premises, clean facilities. Had a very enjoyable day. Not sure if the catering staff is there permanently but they are all very helpful, kind and polite.

    I was here for a work event. Nice building, central location etc. Biggest win for me was the seats in the main theatre were super comfy, I wasn't expecting them to be that nice!

    I have been here on a number of occasions for conferences. It's well equipped, things seem to run smoothly and provide everything that you would expect. The lunches are good and this time had gluten free options for mains, but not desert. The cookies at breaks looked delicious though no no gluten free choice, so I had to settle for healthy, fruit option. They really looked after my waistline! The staff are friendly and helpful.
