Banqueting House is an incredible space for events, a palace in the centre of London. Sat on Whitehall, just moments from Trafalgar Square, the location could not be better. An unassuming entrance gives way to one of the grandest venues in London. Dinners for this number of guests can be hard to find, especially in such a central location. The venue is made up of two spaces, the Undercroft for pre-dinner drinks receptions and after dinner dancing, and the Main Hall for dinners or larger receptions. With its intimate archways and snug corners, the Undercroft is as inviting as the Main Hall is grand. Originally designed as a drinking den for King James I and his favourite courtiers to escape the rigours of public life, this space is brilliant for champagne receptions ahead of dinner and then later for full parties and dancing. The Main Hall is one of the most breathtaking venues within Central London.

Dating back to 1622 as a place of feasting and hosting elegant affairs, this exuberant Baroque hall is truly a spectacular space for events. With its soaring neo-classical columns and magnificent painted Rubens ceiling, the Main Hall is a very grand setting. The ceiling is the true selling point of this space – painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens, it’s impossible not to stand and stare as you enter the room. A really incredible canvas to dine underneath. Banqueting House’s Main Hall works well for larger dinners as well as receptions. We have also hosted an interactive launch at this space featuring a panel discussion, workshops, creative drinks reception and more. Read all about it here. The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies in both the Main Hall and the Undercroft and is due to re-open this Autumn, in October 2025 followed an extensive furbishment.
