Why London couples look down the 401

Room for the whole guest list, and everything handled by one team.

If your guest list has outgrown the venues you have toured in London, our 80 × 95 ft hall with 15 ft ceilings seats a few hundred guests without feeling empty at 100. Your ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing all happen in one place.

Catering, bar, décor and lighting are in-house, so you are not coordinating eight vendors from an hour away. Our chefs cook any cuisine your families love, not just a set menu.

Getting here from London and area

Take Highway 401 west toward Windsor and exit at Chatham. The hall is minutes from the highway on National Road, so guests never have to drive through town.

Guests from St. Thomas, Strathroy and Woodstock are on a similar drive. If they would rather stay over, two hotels are about a kilometre from the hall.

Questions from London couples and planners

How far is Everest Convention Centre from London?

About 122 km, roughly an hour and 25 minutes west on Highway 401 in normal traffic.

Is there somewhere close for our guests to stay?

Yes. Travelodge and Comfort Inn are about a kilometre from the hall, and more hotels are within a few minutes’ drive. Our guest travel page lists them.

Can London companies hold meetings or conferences here?

Yes. Chatham sits roughly halfway between London and Windsor, so teams from both cities can meet in the middle with catering, a stage and a full bar on site.

How many times do we need to drive down?

Usually twice: once for a private tour and once for your menu tasting. Everything else can be planned by phone and email with your coordinator.
