Nestled on the mezzanine floor of the landmark Royal Exchange in Clerkenwell, East Central London, Engel & Jang is an opulent wedding venue perfect for lavish occasions. Established in 1566, this Grade I listed building was once London's stock trading centre, officially opened by Queen Elizabeth I in 1571. Now a luxury shopping and dining destination, this venue exudes grandeur for a truly spectacular soirée.

Facilities and Capacity

You and your loved ones will be blown away by the glamour and extravagance of Engel & Jang. Inspired by 1920s Berlin's golden age, the setting features a swanky bar serving tipples from across the decades, which guests can enjoy alongside live entertainment à la the era's cabaret scene. The venue consists of three spaces that can host your private or semi-private event, accommodating up to 350 standing invitees in total. Their sumptuous interiors were designed by Pattern Haus' Karen Taylor, who had a vision of paying tribute to the Art Deco age. Here, you will find luxury furnishing, detailed craftsmanship, and a rich colour palette that truly surpasses all expectations. Engel Live is their entertainment lounge, boasting a flexible layout for 50 seated guests, so whether you are envisioning long banquet tables or a more intimate dining setup, your wishes will come true. The deep red and champagne gold tones mark the space with splendour. Meanwhile, Engel Bar has a circular bar at its centre, adorned with gold and black marble and polished brass. Lush velvet couches and wingback chairs add vibrance that draws back to a bygone era. You are welcome to host your drinks reception on the terrace, which encompasses both the portico and pavement area. Overlooking the iconic entrance, this outdoor haven is designed with a pale cream and white colour palette inspired by the Côte d'Azur.
