About LARRY'S at the NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY
Step through the Victorian entrance off Charing Cross Road and descend into Larry's at the National Portrait Gallery, where we've transformed 1896 coal storage vaults into one of London's most atmospheric party spaces. The original brick arches and vaulted ceilings create an intimate underground setting that feels worlds away from the bustling streets above. Our walls tell stories through over 100 carefully curated portraits from the National Portrait Gallery's archives – iconic West End figures who watch over your celebrations. We've kept the historic character of these Victorian vaults while adding our signature cocktail bar, where our bartenders craft classics alongside our extensive wine selection. The space naturally divides into cozy corners for conversation or opens up for larger celebrations. Wednesday through Saturday evenings, we bring in live jazz performers like Kitty LaRoar and Nick Shankland, whose music drifts through the arches and adds that speakeasy energy our guests love. During afternoons from Wednesday to Sunday, we serve our 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' tea experience, inspired by Audrey Hepburn – perfect for more intimate gatherings. For party planning, we can configure the space to suit your needs. We accommodate 30 guests for seated dinners in our more intimate arrangement, or up to 150 for standing cocktail receptions where guests can move freely between the bar and various vault spaces. Our team serves lavish bar snacks throughout events, designed to complement the drinks and keep the party flowing. Being just steps from Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, your guests find us easily, though discovering our underground entrance feels like being let in on a secret. Whether you're hosting a birthday celebration, cocktail party, or any gathering that calls for something beyond the ordinary, our vaults provide that perfect mix of history and celebration.
