Camm and Hooper to open City events space

Events company Camm and Hooper is to launch a new event space in the City of London in May.

Banking Hall, on Cornhill Street, will cater for more than 600 guests and is aimed at those working in the ‘Square Mile'.

The space is undergoing extensive refurbishment over the next month, overseen by designer Russell Sage Studio.

Camm and Hooper said it would offer a range of market-style food stalls instead of "run-of-the-mill" finger-food buffets at the Banking Hall.

Claire Lawson, managing director of Camm and Hooper, said: "Following the successful launch of Tanner & Co in April 2013, we are very excited that our second project is now under way. Banking Hall will revolutionise the choice of events spaces on offer in the capital by providing a unique, elegant and adaptable venue in one of London's busiest business locations."

Launched in August 2012, Camm and Hooper is the latest events company financed by the Imbiba Partnership, whose current investments include London-based bar group Drake & Morgan and Darwin and Wallace.
