Central Hall Westminster

Overview

The guided tour of Methodist Central Hall gives you an insight in the history of one of the oldest meeting places in the UK.

The Great Hall boasts the largest European domed ceiling of its kind and was chosen to host the Inaugural Meeting of the United Nations in 1946. The breath-taking Grand Organ features 4,731 pipes and was mastered by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s father, the Hall’s Musical Director for over 25 years.

Welcome to this hidden London jewel with its sweeping Grand Staircase (a replicate of the Paris Opera staircase) and magnificent marble foyer areas. Relax in our 200 seat Café, serving warm and cold daily specials from 9am - 4pm every day. Free Wi-Fi access for customers.
