Venue

In the heart of the City of London
Guildhall, London.

The event will take place at the East Crypt and West Crypt which lie beneath Guildhall, and are the largest medieval crypts in London.

Narrated from the Guidlhall site - "The East Crypt is the oldest part of Guildhall, dating back to Edward the Confessor (1042) and is considered to be one of the earliest and one of the finest examples of its kind in England. The stained glass windows depict Geoffrey Chaucer, William Caxton, Sir Thomas More, Sir ChristopherWren and Samuel Pepys.

The West Crypt was built in the 12th century and would have originally been the ground floor of the building. After the Great Fire of London in 1666 it completely collapsed and was sealed; after extensive restoration it was opened again in 1973..." - a truly historic building and a pleasure to be able to invite you all to celebrate Eid like it never has been done before.
