✦ Matched space

The Livery Hall is distinguished by its Gothic barrel-vaulted ceiling with stained-glass windows and hanging brass candelabra in constant use since the 1750s. Together with silver Men-at-Arms table candelabra, these make Armourers' Hall one of only two Livery Halls where guests dine by candlelight. The room contains a grand piano, public-address system with four speakers and fourteen electrical sockets, suited to banquets, formal dinners and large receptions.
