Convene, a premium meeting and event venue brand best suited for large, highly experiential events, is opening its newest London location in April 2024: Convene Sancroft, St. Paul’s.

Located within Sancroft, St. Paul’s, a Class-A redevelopment in Paternoster Square by Greycoat and Mitsui Fudosan, the venue will span 45,000 square-feet and comprise seven unique meeting rooms and a full-buyout capacity of 1,200 guests.

Convene Sancroft, St. Paul’s was thoughtfully configured based on existing Convene client needs and will feature a 900-person plenary room, the largest space within the Convene global portfolio as well as the largest single above-ground room in the City of London.  It is ideal for large conferences with main stage sessions and breakout rooms, trade shows and exhibitions, corporate social events, and more.

Nestled between historic London landmarks, the design of Convene Sancroft, St. Paul’s will pay homage to the surrounding area, drawing inspiration from the iconic local craftsmanship while reflecting nearby contemporary architecture. The architectural palette of the property is a simple and neutral backdrop contrasting with the bold interior design elements that are a nod to the Elizabethan Era. The design reminisces this era through vibrant pops of rich colour and textured forms seen in elaborate wall panelings, intricate ceilings, and timeless materials.  In addition, the space is flooded with natural light that streams in from the nine- to 14-foot floor-to-ceiling windows.

Convene serves as a partner, not just a place, for meeting and event planners, and its newest location at Sancroft, St. Paul’s will be no different.  Clients and guests of the space will enjoy:

• A dedicated hospitality team to manage logistics and details

• On-site catering with nourishing menus prepared by an executive-chef-led culinary team

• Unlimited snacks and beverages available throughout the day

• A white box space that allows for considerable branding opportunities

• In-room A/V technology supported by a dedicated on-site team

Convene is the premium offering within the Convene portfolio of brands which also includes etc.venues, an accessible lifestyle brand ideal for value-driven small meetings and corporate trainings; SaksWorks, a co-working solution in former Saks Fifth Avenue stores; Club 75, a members-only work and social club; and the “by Convene” label for bespoke locations in partnership with other organisations.  As the largest single provider of dedicated meeting and event venues in the U.S. and U.K., the company boasts a network of 40 locations across nine cities.
