About Council Chamber
80 Theatre
100 Standing / Reception
60 Cabaret
The Council Chamber transforms from its original civic purpose into one of Hampstead's most characterful party spaces. We've watched countless celebrations unfold beneath these high Victorian ceilings, where natural light pours through tall windows during afternoon gatherings, then gives way to atmospheric evening lighting that completely changes the room's personality. Walking into this ground floor space from Belsize Park Station takes just minutes, but you'll feel transported to another era. The original marble fireplace becomes a natural focal point for drinks receptions, while those historic wall-mounted memorials spark conversations among guests discovering details of our building's past. Our elegant draped curtains frame the windows beautifully, and we've seen party planners use them as backdrops for everything from birthday photo booths to anniversary displays. The room comfortably holds 100 guests for standing receptions, or we can arrange seating for 80 in theatre style when you want everyone facing forward for speeches or performances. For more intimate celebrations, our cabaret layout seats 60 with tables, perfect for birthday dinners or celebration teas. The traditional flooring has witnessed decades of gatherings, and its timeless appeal means your decorations, whether minimal or elaborate, always complement the space perfectly. Our modern additions blend seamlessly with the Victorian features. The PA system and speakers handle everything from background music to party announcements, while the projector and flatscreen TV let you share photo montages or video messages. We've provided WiFi throughout, knowing how important social sharing has become at celebrations. The whiteboard and flipchart might seem unusual for parties, but we've seen them used creatively for guest messages and party games. External catering gives you complete freedom over your menu, and our ground floor location makes deliveries straightforward. The Council Chamber's atmosphere shifts beautifully from daylight gatherings to evening celebrations, offering genuine flexibility for your event timing.
