About The Drawing Room
20 Boardroom
70 Banquet
100 Standing / Reception
25 U-Shaped
The Drawing Room Rich purple ceilings meet exposed Victorian brickwork in our upstairs function space, where vintage chandeliers cast warm light across 100 years of Bloomsbury history. The Drawing Room combines the grandeur of a private members' club with the relaxed atmosphere that makes The Marquis Cornwallis such a beloved local fixture. We've arranged deep Chesterfield banquettes along the walls, their leather worn just enough to feel welcoming rather than precious. Natural light pours through the tall windows overlooking Marchmont Street, brightening the space during daytime presentations or afternoon celebrations. Come evening, those same chandeliers create an intimate glow perfect for birthday parties or festive gatherings. The room adapts effortlessly to your needs. For corporate presentations, we configure tables and chairs to seat 20 in boardroom style or 25 in a U-shape layout. Planning something bigger? We can accommodate 70 guests for a seated dinner or 100 for standing drinks receptions. Our projector and screen handle everything from quarterly business reviews to screening the big match, while the room's private bar means your bartender stays dedicated to your group throughout the event. Those original Victorian features, the exposed brick and distressed finishes, give every gathering here a sense of occasion. Whether you're toasting a milestone birthday, hosting team drinks, or presenting to clients, the space feels special without being stuffy. The private bar stocks the same craft beers, wines and spirits as downstairs, plus we can arrange catering from our kitchen serving British classics alongside vegetarian and vegan options. Russell Square tube station sits just two minutes' walk away, making this an easy destination for guests traveling from anywhere in London. The combination of historic character, modern amenities, and that private bar setup creates exactly the kind of memorable venue people appreciate for their important occasions.
