It contains twenty-two conference, meetings and seminar rooms, the largest being the Great Hall.
Central Hall occupies the corner of Tothill Street and Storeys Gate just off Victoria Street in London, near the junction with The Sanctuary next to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre and facing Westminster Abbey.

A-preaching that drinking is sinful,
I’ll wager the rascals a crown
They always preach best with a skinful.”
