About Arab Hall
80 Standing / Reception
The Arab Hall stands as Frederic Leighton's most extraordinary achievement, where an authentic 12th-century Damascene fountain quietly bubbles beneath a golden dome. We welcome up to 80 guests into this remarkable space, inspired by La Zisa palace in Palermo, where every surface tells a story through centuries-old Iznik tiles in deep blues, emerald greens and warm golds. Your guests enter through tall marble columns to find themselves surrounded by intricate mosaics and Islamic geometric patterns that Victorian London had never seen before. The fountain at the centre creates a gentle soundtrack as people move between the Arab Hall and the adjoining Dining and Drawing Rooms, all included with your booking of the ground floor. We've watched countless celebrations unfold here, from milestone birthdays where guests pause mid-conversation to photograph the tilework, to corporate receptions where the setting sparks entirely different networking conversations. Our team works closely with you to enhance the hall's natural drama. The golden dome casts changing light throughout your event, while our PA system ensures speeches carry perfectly across the space. We maintain reliable Wi-Fi throughout, though most guests find themselves captivated by the physical beauty surrounding them. The Victorian interiors of the adjoining rooms provide elegant contrast, offering quieter spaces for conversation while maintaining the artistic atmosphere. Just minutes from Olympia Station in Kensington, the museum provides surprisingly easy access for London events. Our experienced events team understands how to work within these historic spaces, guiding your chosen caterers through our kitchen facilities and ensuring your celebration flows smoothly from arrival to departure. The Arab Hall transforms ordinary gatherings into something genuinely memorable, where your guests become part of the continuing story of this exceptional Victorian home.
