About The Library
40 Boardroom
60 Banquet
50 Theatre
100 Standing / Reception
Surrounded by over 3,200 leather-bound volumes in original oak bookcases, The Library transforms dining into something rather special. Shakespeare and Milton watch over your gathering from their marble busts while natural light pours through windows framing Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament across the Thames. We've preserved every detail of this former government reading room, from the rich wood panelling to the scholarly atmosphere that makes conversations flow as smoothly as the wine. Whether you're planning a boardroom lunch for 40 or a standing reception for 100 guests, the space adapts beautifully. For seated dinners, we accommodate up to 60, with round tables arranged between the towering bookshelves that give the room its distinctive character. Our catering team works from the same kitchens that supply Gillray's Steakhouse downstairs, bringing that expertise to your private event. We prepare everything from working lunches to elaborate banquets, with halal, kosher, vegan and gluten-free options readily available. The bar stays open until half past midnight when you need it, and our sommeliers can suggest pairings from our extensive cellars. Modern touches blend seamlessly with the heritage setting. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps presentations running smoothly, flatscreen TVs display your content clearly, and the air conditioning maintains comfort year-round. We provide flipcharts for brainstorming sessions and can arrange the room theatre-style for 50 when you need a more formal presentation setup. Just a short walk from Waterloo Station, delegates appreciate how easy we are to reach. The South Bank location puts you moments from the London Eye and riverside walks, while overnight guests enjoy our marble-bathed rooms and 25-meter pool. The Library particularly suits corporate dinners, book launches, intimate wedding breakfasts and any gathering where the setting itself becomes part of the conversation.
