My experience at Toynbee Hall was brilliant!
We used the Lecture Hall and it was perfect for our event. We were also equipped with AV systems which were at a high spec and exactly what we needed. Ben & Whitney are a fantastic team and they were so supportive on the day of our events, nothing was too much to ask! I will be using Toynbee Hall for future events for sure as it has suitable spaces for all sorts of events such as workshops, conferences & training days.
