Crystal chandeliers cast dancing light across the polished floors of Great Western 1, where Victorian grandeur meets contemporary celebration. We've hosted everything from elaborate wedding receptions to milestone birthday parties in this pillar-free ballroom, watching as guests pause to admire the soaring ceilings while sipping champagne during cocktail hour. Spanning 278 square meters, our largest event space transforms to match your vision. Those planning a wedding often choose our banquet setup for 240 guests, arranging round tables beneath the chandeliers while leaving space for the dance floor that inevitably fills as the evening progresses. Corporate celebrations work beautifully here too, with theatre seating for 350 allowing everyone a clear view for award ceremonies or product launches. The natural daylight streaming through our period windows creates perfect conditions for daytime celebrations, though we've seen the room truly come alive during evening galas when the chandeliers illuminate dinner service. Our events team has perfected the flow between Great Western 1 and the adjacent foyer, where guests naturally gather for welcome drinks or between dinner courses. The dedicated cloakroom means coats and bags stay secure while your guests focus on enjoying themselves. We provide all the technical support you'd expect, from sound systems for speeches to lighting that sets the right mood, plus complimentary Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. The kitchen excels at everything from canapé receptions for 300 to formal seated dinners, with menus crafted specifically for each celebration. Our location directly connected to Paddington Station means guests arrive easily, whether they're coming from Heathrow in 15 minutes or hopping off the Underground. Hyde Park sits just a short walk away, offering perfect photo opportunities for wedding parties or a breath of fresh air between festivities.
