🏛️ GENERAL MANAGER - Hospitality | Blue Strawberry Group at Old Sessions House Clerkenwell, London | Full-time | Senior Leadership 45 hours | Competitive salary + bonus and benefits Once London's largest courthouse.
Now one of the capital's most exciting venues.
Old Sessions House isn't a hotel, and it isn't just an events space — it's a Grade II* listed Georgian icon on Clerkenwell Green, reborn across eight distinctive spaces: from the soaring Great Room to the Rooftop's Mediterranean-style oasis, the Courtroom Bar to the Chairman's Room.
It hosts everything from 450-guest exclusive takeovers to intimate private dinners, weddings, and a thriving members' workclub — all in a day's work.
We're looking for a General Manager to be the heartbeat of this building: the person who sets the tone the moment someone walks through the door, who turns a heritage landmark into the most talked-about address in London hospitality, and who builds a commercial engine as sharp as the experience is memorable.
This is a rare one.
Bring the right person in, and this role could be one of the most rewarding in London's events and hospitality scene this year.
About Blue Strawberry Group We're the team behind some of the UK's most prestigious events and venues — bringing Michelin Star-level gastronomy, creative event design, and a genuine obsession with guest experience to every space we touch.
We don't do "corporate." We do craft, energy, and a relentless standard of excellence.
Joining us means joining a Group that backs its leaders to build something distinctive, not just run a diary.
