About Reading & Writing Room
130 Banquet
250 Standing / Reception
Crystal chandeliers cast dancing patterns across the ornate ceiling as afternoon light streams through tall windows in our Reading & Writing Room. We've watched countless successful meetings unfold beneath these hand-painted murals, where Victorian grandeur meets modern business needs. The room comfortably accommodates 130 guests for banquet-style dining or expands to welcome 250 for standing receptions. Those original columns and period artwork create natural conversation spaces during networking events, while the high ceilings ensure excellent acoustics for presentations. We've found the classical murals particularly effective as a backdrop for video conferences, offering something distinctive that participants always remember. Natural daylight remains consistent throughout the day thanks to the generous windows overlooking Whitehall Court. For evening meetings, the chandeliers transform the atmosphere completely, creating an intimate setting that works equally well for board dinners or strategy sessions. The plush carpeting absorbs sound beautifully, allowing multiple conversation groups to coexist comfortably during breaks. Our venue sits just steps from Westminster, making arrival straightforward for attendees. Many choose to walk from Embankment or Westminster stations, both under ten minutes away. The proximity to Trafalgar Square and Parliament often proves useful when international delegates want to explore London between sessions. The room's flexible layout adapts to your specific requirements. We regularly configure it theatre-style for presentations, boardroom format for executive meetings, or cabaret style for interactive workshops. The Victorian architecture provides an inspiring environment that elevates routine meetings into memorable occasions, while our technical infrastructure ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Whether planning a full-day conference, client presentation, or corporate celebration, this space combines historical character with practical functionality. The Reading & Writing Room delivers both the gravitas your meeting deserves and the comfort your attendees expect.
