Throughout its history the Central Hall has played host to events of national and international importance: The Suffragettes, campaigning for the vote for women, met here in 1914. Mahatma Gandhi addressed the Temperance movement here in 1931. During the second World War, General de Gaulle announced the foundation of the Free French movement to the world here in 1940.

As the war drew to a close, Winston Churchill addressed the Conservative Party Conference in the Great Hall in 1945. His opening words to them were "Victory is certain, victory is near".

Perhaps most famously, the Central Hall was the chosen venue for the inaugural General Assembly of the United Nations in 1946. 51 member countries sent delegations and Prime Minister Clement Attlee welcomed the UN to 'this ancient home of liberty and order'.

Excellent provision has been made for conference delegates with special needs including wheelchair access, induction loops and guide dogs. For further information click here.
