Gray's Inn Banqueting

THE BINGHAM ROOM

Located on the first floor in an adjoining building opposite the Hall, this exclusive and versatile banqueting room provides a peaceful view overlooking the beautifully landscaped squares.

The Bingham Room boasts the latest integrated AV equipment, including a PA system, LCD projector, screen and AMX touch panel. It also has direct access to kitchen and catering facilities and can be used in conjunction with the adjacent Bridge Bar, making it an ideal setting for theatre or boardroom style meetings, seminars and lectures.

The Bingham Room takes its name from the late Thomas Henry Bingham, Baron Bingham of Cornhill, Bencher of Gray’s Inn, who sadly passed away on 11th September 2010.

“The debt we owe to Tom Bingham, the greatest jurist of our time, is immense and incalculable. It is to him, perhaps more than anyone else, that the Supreme Court itself owes its existence – something that he had long believed in and happily was realised during his lifetime. But his real legacy lies in the depth and quality of the many judgments that he delivered, especially during his eight years as the Senior Law Lord. His energy, his unshakeable grasp of principle, the clarity and force of his language and his strong sense of history shone through everything that he said and wrote. It is a tragedy that someone who still had so much to give should have died so early after his retirement when, at last, he had the time and freedom to do what he wanted.”

Statement from Lord Hope, Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom on behalf of the Justices of the Supreme Court.
