About Lightwells and Deadhouse (New..)
36 Banquet
200 Standing / Reception
Descend the stone steps beneath the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court and you'll discover the Lightwells and Deadhouse, where Somerset House reveals its most intriguing secrets. These subterranean chambers have witnessed centuries of London life, and today they offer one of the capital's most extraordinary party spaces. The Lightwells greet you with soaring marble floors that catch the natural light pouring through tall windows, creating an interplay of shadows and illumination that shifts throughout your event. We can accommodate up to 200 guests for standing receptions here, or arrange elegant dining for 36. The long, arched corridors showcase exposed brick walls and original industrial piping, creating that perfect contrast when you add candlelit tables or contemporary lighting installations. Through the archway, the Deadhouse presents an altogether different atmosphere. Those memorials set into the ancient walls have made this space a favourite with film crews, but we've found it equally captivating for intimate gatherings where guests want something genuinely memorable. The eerie beauty of the space transforms beautifully under event lighting, and yes, we've installed high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, so modern needs are fully covered despite the historical setting. Temple Station sits just moments away, making arrival simple for your guests. Our accredited suppliers know these spaces intimately and can work with the unique architecture to create anything from theatrical cocktail parties to atmospheric dinner parties. The combination of raw architectural elements with your chosen styling creates something you simply won't find elsewhere in London. When you book the Lightwells and Deadhouse, you're choosing spaces that embrace their underground mystique rather than hiding it. Perfect for those who want their celebration to be talked about long after the last guest leaves.
