About Portico Terrace
60 Banquet
250 Standing / Reception
At the National Gallery, our Portico Terrace transforms summer evenings into something magical. Picture your guests sipping champagne above Trafalgar Square, the city's heartbeat pulsing below while they stand on our distinctive black and white mosaic floor that catches the light just so as the sun sets. This outdoor space wraps around the Gallery's iconic columns, creating intimate pockets for conversation while maintaining the sweep and grandeur that makes arrivals memorable. We can arrange seating for 60 guests if you're planning a dinner under the stars, or welcome up to 250 for standing receptions where people naturally flow between the terrace and our adjoining spaces. The historic relief above the entrance provides an unexpected talking point, while our plush seating areas with cushioned arrangements give guests comfortable spots to settle with their drinks and watch the square's evening theatre unfold. Our position directly above Trafalgar Square means your photographs will capture not just your celebration but London itself as your backdrop. Our venue's approved caterers understand outdoor dining requires special attention, preparing menus that work beautifully al fresco, from canapés that won't wilt to substantial bowl food that's easy to manage while standing. They'll accommodate any dietary requirements, offering halal, kosher, vegan and gluten-free options, while our licence until 2am means summer parties can continue long after sunset. Getting here couldn't be simpler, with Leicester Square station just 0.2 miles away and Charing Cross even closer. Our lift access to all floors and accessible parking ensure every guest arrives comfortably. The Portico Terrace brings together everything that makes our venue special: world-class art, London's most famous square, and that particular energy that only comes from celebrating somewhere truly extraordinary.
