55 Cabaret
The Lancaster Rooms greet you with soaring industrial columns and weathered floorboards that tell their own story of Somerset House's working past. We've kept the raw character intact in this New Wing space, where exposed architectural elements frame spectacular Thames views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Fashion houses book this room for its runway-ready proportions, while tech companies transform it into immersive product launch venues. The neutral palette and dramatic height work like a blank stage, ready for whatever vision you bring. Natural light pours across the original floorboards during daytime events, though we've seen the space completely reimagined with projection mapping and theatrical lighting for evening affairs. Your guests can arrive through the private entrance, keeping your event exclusive from the moment they step inside. We can configure the room for 220 standing guests at cocktail receptions, seat 110 for formal dinners, or arrange theatre-style seating for 150. The cabaret layout works beautifully for 55 guests when you need everyone engaged around tables. Film crews love shooting here, drawn by the industrial textures and that particular quality of river light. We've hosted everything from avant-garde fashion shows with models weaving between the pillars to corporate presentations where the architecture itself becomes part of the message. The high-speed Wi-Fi handles livestreaming without breaking a sweat, while our AV team can rig lighting and sound throughout the structural framework. Temple Station sits just moments away, making arrivals straightforward even for international guests. The combination of raw architectural honesty and Thames-side location creates something genuinely memorable, whether you're planning an intimate brand experience or a full-scale celebration.
