About us
Conway Hall is owned by South Place Ethical Society, an educational charity whose aims are the study and dissemination of ethical principles based on humanism and freethought, the cultivation of a rational and humane way of life, and the advancement of research and education in all relevant fields.
It was opened in 1929 and built at a cost of about £45,000. The name was chosen in honour of Moncure Daniel Conway (b.1832-d.1907), anti-slavery advocate, out-spoken supporter of free thought and biographer of Thomas Paine.
