Hanover Square Rooms, Concert hall in Westminster, England

The Hanover Square Rooms featured a rectangular main hall measuring 79 feet by 32 feet with vaulted ceilings and paintings by Giovanni Cipriani.

Established in 1774 by Sir John Gallini, Johann Christian Bach, and Carl Friedrich Abel, the venue served as London's primary concert location until 1900.

The concert hall hosted performances of Handel's Messiah annually from 1785, along with numerous musical events by the Philharmonic Society starting in 1833.

The venue accommodated up to 1500 attendees despite its intended capacity of 800, with a royal box and long mirrors enhancing the interior design.

The building's rectangular shape without balconies created specific acoustic properties due to its reflective vaulted ceiling design.
