About Leighton House Museum
Step through our doors in Kensington and you're not just entering an event space—you're walking into Frederic Leighton's artistic vision, preserved and alive. The Victorian interiors here don't need much dressing up. Original tilework, gilded ceilings, the famous Arab Hall with its golden dome—these rooms carry their own drama. We've carefully added modern touches where needed: discreet Wi-Fi points, professional sound systems, flexible lighting. Our catering team knows these spaces intimately, working around the art and architecture to serve exceptional food and drink. Civil ceremonies in the Arab Hall feel almost otherworldly. Corporate dinners in the Silk Room spark different conversations than your average hotel ballroom. Film crews love the natural light in the studio spaces. Even simple drinks receptions become something more when your guests can wander between rooms discovering hidden artistic treasures. We're properly equipped too—full accessibility throughout, licensed for ceremonies and bar service, and yes, we're one of the few museum venues that welcomes well-behaved pets. Your playlist, your caterer, your vision—we work with it all. High Street Kensington and Olympia stations put us within easy reach, but once inside, central London feels miles away. This house has hosted artists, aristocrats, and innovators for over a century. Now it's your turn. Reach out and let's discuss how Leighton House can elevate your next gathering.
