About The River Rooms
220 Standing / Reception
The River Rooms transport you straight into Somerset House's creative heart, where exposed brick archways frame your celebration and original Georgian fireplaces remind everyone they're partying somewhere truly special. We've watched fashion designers transform these interconnected spaces into runway spectacles, seen product launches take over every corner with immersive installations, and hosted exhibitions that spill naturally from one room to the next. Natural light pours through the large arched windows during afternoon gatherings, while our custom-built lighting tracks come alive after dark, washing the brick walls in whatever colours match your mood. The open-plan layout means your 220 guests can flow freely between spaces, discovering different atmospheres as they explore. We've found the exposed brickwork creates brilliant acoustics for live music, and those original fireplaces make perfect focal points for cocktail bars or display areas. Getting here couldn't be simpler, just a quick walk from Temple Station means your guests arrive fresh, not frazzled. The New Wing location gives you all the prestige of our Somerset House address while keeping your party pleasantly separate from our other spaces. Our events team has seen these rooms dressed a thousand different ways, from minimalist gallery setups to maximalist party wonderlands, and the architecture always rises to meet the occasion. The real magic happens when you combine the River Rooms with our courtyard or riverside terraces, giving guests those breath-taking Thames views between dancing. Our kitchens handle everything from sophisticated canapé receptions to substantial late-night food stations, while our bar team keeps the drinks flowing smoothly all evening. Fashion shows, product launches, corporate celebrations, milestone birthdays, we've hosted them all here, each one completely different yet perfectly at home in these versatile spaces.
