The New Connaught Rooms is London's oldest established conference venue and dates back 200 years, with a long background in the mysteries of Masonic Brotherhood. It is now owned by Choice Hotels Europe and comprises 29 elegant conference rooms as well as the famous Grand Hall, which can accommodate 700 delegates. The Grand Hall, located at the top of an imposing staircase, is also much used for smaller exhibitions and large Banquets and is frequently host to famous guests attending fund raising and other events.

The New Connaught Rooms are located in Great Queen Street, 50 yards from Kingsway and close to the edge of the City of London. The venue is 5 minutes walk from both Holborn and Covent Garden Stations.

The New Connaught Rooms are 10 minutes by direct tube on the Piccadilly (dark blue) Line from the Quality Crown Hotel London Kensington, which recently opened after extensive refurbishment (January 2002) and has well appointed bedrooms for business and leisure guests, including individual room air conditioning, as well as spacious lounge and lounge/bar areas well suited for delegate meetings during or after conferences and exhibitions and to relaxing after the long walk around large events.

The Comfort Inn Notting Hill and the Comfort Inn Notting Hill - Bayswater are also on direct routes to Holborn Station on the Central (red) Line and the Quality Crown Hotel London Hyde Park requires one change to the Central (red) Line at Notting Hill Gate Station from the Circle (yellow) Line and District (green) Line and each are well accustomed to welcoming visitors to exhibitions large and small and have well deserved reputations for a very friendly but professional style.
