Book tables at the e-Government National Awards

Below: The dinner is in the fabulous medieval Guildhall:

The Guildhall was begun in 1411 and, having survived both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz, it is the only secular stone structure dating from before 1666 still standing in the City.

During the Roman period it was the site of the largest amphitheatre in Britannia, remains of which are on public display in the basement - which dinner guests will glimpse.

The Dinner takes place in the Great Hall, where royalty and state visitors have been entertained down the centuries. It has been the setting for famous state trials, including that of Lady Jane Grey in 1553. The medieval hall contains monuments to national heroes including Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill.
