Step into five centuries of history at one of England's finest Elizabethan halls. Middle Temple Hall, completed in 1573, features a magnificent double hammerbeam roof and has hosted generations of royalty, including Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake. Legend has it that the first recorded performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night took place in Hall in 1602.
Choose between a guided tour through the historic cobbled lanes and buildings of this legal haven, or enjoy lunch beneath the soaring timber roof. Guided tours take approximately one hour and are available on Fridays at 11am; a minimum group size of 10 people applies. Fresh, daily-changing menus are served Tuesday to Friday from noon to 2pm, with options ranging from two-course to three-course meals including coffee. A bar serves soft drinks, Champagne, wine and beer. The Garden Room offers a more casual setting for breakfast, lunch, coffee and drinks throughout weekday working hours.
