Exeter Hall, a large proprietary building, on the north side of the Strand, London, was completed in 1831, and can contain upwards of 5000 persons. It is let chiefly for religious assemblies, and is in great request during the 'May Meetings' of the several religious societies. It has also been the scene of many great musical fêtes. In 1880 it was purchased for £25,000 for the Young Men's Christian Association.
