About Open Council + Porter terrace
100 Standing / Reception
30 Seated
We've transformed our seventh-floor space into something rather special. The Open Council + Porter Terrace combines a light-filled interior room with direct access to our rooftop terrace, where London spreads out before you. From up here, guests spot Big Ben's tower, Westminster Abbey's Gothic spires, and the London Eye slowly turning against the skyline. The main room catches sunlight through floor-to-ceiling windows all day long. We've arranged round tables throughout the space, mixing contemporary seating with colourful artwork on the walls. Fresh flowers arrive each morning, adding natural touches to the clean, modern design. The neutral palette creates a calm backdrop that works equally well for corporate gatherings or celebratory parties. Step through the glass doors onto Porter Terrace and the atmosphere shifts. This outdoor space has become the highlight of countless evening receptions, where guests sip drinks while watching the sun set behind Parliament. The terrace extends your event capacity significantly, accommodating up to 100 people for standing receptions or providing breathing space during seated dinners for 30. Our catering team operates from the building's kitchens, preparing everything from canapé selections to full dining menus. We've set up a dedicated refreshment area inside, stocked with glassware and serving stations. The team adapts menus for any dietary requirement, whether you need halal, kosher, vegan or gluten-free options. The space works brilliantly for product launches, where the terrace provides a dramatic reveal moment. Corporate celebrations flow naturally between inside and out, while private parties often gravitate towards the terrace as darkness falls and city lights begin twinkling. We hold a full alcohol licence, so evening events can include cocktails against that Westminster backdrop. You'll find us just minutes from Westminster Underground station, making arrival straightforward for guests crossing London. The lift whisks everyone straight to the seventh floor, ensuring easy access for all attendees.
