Between steel and glass towers and 17th-century spires, located in the heart of The City of London, The Ned offers Grade I-listed facilities.
The historic building, designed by Sir Edwin ‘Ned’ Lutyens almost a century ago, has been carefully restored by the design teams from Soho House & Co and Sydell Group. The rooms retain many original period features, including walnut panelling and vintage chandeliers, as well as ample arched windows to allow for plenty of natural light.
These unique features make it the perfect venue in The City for our London Annual Summit, at The Global Forum On Cities, the place to meet with fellow global leaders, the Summit where to invite your privileged clients, business partners, leadership teams, and other stakeholders
