About The Drill Deck
150 Standing / Reception
120 Seated
The Drill Deck aboard HMS President transforms from its naval heritage into an extraordinary event space where Tower Bridge frames every celebration through floor-to-ceiling windows. This former Royal Navy training hall now hosts up to 150 guests for standing receptions or 120 seated, with original regal arches creating dramatic architectural moments throughout the space. Natural light floods through the large skylights during daytime events, while evening gatherings take on a magical quality as the Thames sparkles below and Tower Bridge illuminates against the night sky. The polished wooden floors reflect the warm lighting, and white drapery softens the military precision of the original architecture, creating an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate. We've preserved the naval character while adding contemporary touches that make events flow smoothly. The space comes equipped with Wi-Fi and audio-visual equipment for presentations or entertainment, and the acoustics work beautifully whether you're hosting a live band for a wedding reception or delivering corporate presentations. Our BYO alcohol policy with licensing until 23:00 gives you flexibility with bar arrangements, letting you create exactly the celebration you envision. The versatility of The Drill Deck means it adapts to your vision, whether that's round tables for a wedding breakfast, theatre-style seating for conferences, or an open floor plan for cocktail receptions. Being moored on the Thames adds something special to every event - guests often find themselves drawn to the windows between conversations, watching river traffic pass by or catching sunset reflections on the water. Just minutes from Tower Gateway Station with the Tower of London as our neighbour, The Drill Deck offers central London accessibility with a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Your guests will remember not just your event, but the experience of celebrating aboard a piece of living naval history.
