    Dinner - Monday

    Stationers Hall

    Stationers' Hall , a historic listed building, close to St Paul's Cathedral, is one of the few ancient Livery Halls remaining in the City of London. Completed in 1673 after the Great Fire of London, the Hall's suite of three imposing, inter-linking rooms makes it one of the most sought after venues in the City for events and private functions.

    The secluded garden is a draw during the warmer months and the ancient Hall with its stained glass windows is the perfect setting for the PDLN dinner.
