London
De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms is the Grade II* listed building and is perfectly located between Covent Garden and Holborn in the West End of London. With a history dating back to 1775, the building has long been an important event venue and was once home to the original Freemasons’ Tavern.
With arched ornate ceilings, beautiful wood-panelling and dramatic chandeliers, the Grand Hall creates an impressive venue for a word class dance event.
