The New and Old Mart rooms sit adjacent to the
main Exchange and are popular for syndicate space
and drinks receptions. Often used at large dinners
and events they give the perfect opportunity for
sponsors to host a private reception within another
event, or perfect to use as an exhibitor lounge at large
exhibitions. Both are filled with natural light and enjoy
traditional decoration with wooden panelled walls and
original floors.

Blur in 1999. Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, David
