About Art Deco Listed Library
100 Standing / Reception
80 Seated
The Art Deco Listed Library catches everyone off guard when they first step through its doors. Rich wood paneling wraps around the walls while natural light pours through our original stained glass windows, creating shifting patterns of colour across the intricate parquet flooring. This Grade II listed space transforms throughout the day, from morning presentations under the glow of our circular modern light fixtures to evening cocktail receptions where guests gather beneath the striking mural that dominates one wall. We've hosted everything from book launches with authors reading from the balcony to corporate celebrations where teams spread across both levels. The library accommodates 80 seated guests comfortably, or up to 100 for standing receptions. That balcony isn't just decorative, it gives your guests somewhere to retreat for quieter conversations while still feeling part of the main event below. Our location, just a short walk from South Kensington Underground station, means your guests can arrive easily from anywhere in London. The space comes fully equipped with Wi-Fi, projectors and PA system, so whether you're planning a product showcase or birthday celebration, the technical side runs smoothly. We've seen fashion brands use the wood-paneled walls as backdrop for press days, while tech companies appreciate how the historic setting adds gravitas to their launch events. The high ceilings create remarkable acoustics, making the library particularly popular for acoustic performances and spoken word events. External catering gives you complete freedom over your menu choices, from canapés circulating between the bookshelves to seated dinners arranged beneath those magnificent windows. Every gathering here benefits from the unique atmosphere only a working library can provide, where centuries of knowledge line the walls as silent witnesses to your celebration.
