Friends House is the ideal venue for hosting your meeting or
conference in central London. Our broad range of meeting rooms and
conference facilities are suitable for a variety of uses including
training courses, interviews, lectures, conferences and rehearsals
with capacities ranging from 4 to over 1100 at very competitive
prices. ...
The building is also the head office of the Religious Society of
Friends (Quakers).

Meeting for Sufferings on the 6th March 2004 agreed to lease Courtauld
House [former Quaker International Centre] to Huron University for 25
years. We celebrate the achievements of Quaker International Centre in
Courtauld House which was for many years a home of a happy Quaker
community including British and overseas residents and staff, a 'home
from home' for many Friends and others. Quaker International Centre
closed on the 31st May.
