Our Reading Room transforms corporate dining into something rather special. Picture your guests seated around our grand banquet table, where polished glassware catches the soft chandelier light and conversation flows as smoothly as the wine we pour. We've hosted countless business dinners here, from deal celebrations to client entertainment, and the room never fails to create the right impression. The space tells its own story through carefully chosen details. A classical bust presides over proceedings from its alcove, while portraits in gilded frames watch over your gathering. Our original fireplace anchors one end of the room, its mantelpiece often adorned with seasonal flowers that complement the centrepieces we arrange along the dining table. These touches of history blend seamlessly with modern service standards, creating an atmosphere that feels both established and fresh. We configure The Reading Room to suit your specific dining needs. For formal dinners, we seat up to 50 guests along our extended table setup, ensuring everyone can engage in conversation while enjoying their meal. Need a more relaxed format? We arrange for cocktails and canapés for up to 80 guests, letting people mingle freely beneath the ornate ceiling mouldings. The high windows, dressed in elegant drapes, provide glimpses of Westminster's historic streets, reminding your guests they're dining in the heart of government London. Our position moments from Trafalgar Square means your guests arrive easily, whether coming from City offices or international hotels. The room's proportions work particularly well for those occasions when you want dining to feel like an event, not just a meal. From wine tastings to celebration dinners, we provide full audio-visual support, ensuring presentations run smoothly between courses. Our experienced events team coordinates every detail, from dietary requirements to wine pairings, letting you focus on your guests rather than logistics.
