Your next event might be closer than you think. 📍

When choosing a venue, we often focus on the space itself. But sometimes, location is what makes the real difference.

We have a stunning Baroque interior to wow your guests, but our location is just as much a part of what makes St Stephen Walbrook an attractive choice for corporate events.

Right in the heart of the City, we’re within easy walking distance of:

📍 Bank – 1 minute
📍 Cannon Street – 2 minutes
📍 Monument – 6 minutes
📍 Liverpool Street – 10 minutes

A convenient location takes away one of the barriers to attending, making it easier for guests to join you and fit your event into a busy working day.

For busy City teams, sometimes the best venue isn’t the one you have to travel across London to reach.

It’s the one on your doorstep.

We are terribly saddened to hear of the tragic loss of the wonderfully talented Cole who performed to great acclaim at St Stephen Walbrook and was greatly admired amongst our community of organists for his outstanding skill and talent. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends.
