Daytime Venue Hire

Inspirational by design

Banqueting House is now closed for events for a period of essential re-servicing, conservation, and maintenance work and will re-open in the Autumn of 2025.

Our other London palaces are still available to hire over this period so please do get in touch to see which other venue would suit your requirements. 

The Main Hall

The Main Hall is a truly awe-inspiring venue for conferences and large meetings. Here, soaring Ionic columns lead the eye upwards to the magnificent ceiling, a Baroque masterpiece painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens.

The Main Room's opulent surroundings lend a sense of grandeur to any corporate event. Your guests will be dazzled and inspired in equal measure.

• Up to 400 guests theatre style
• Up to 280 guests cabaret style

The Undercroft

Once the setting for celebrations enjoyed by James I and his companions, the Undercroft makes a more intimate counterpart to the imposing Main Hall.

This atmospheric space has charm and character in abundance, and the cosy arches and rich acoustics make it a perfect setting for away days, meetings and conferences.

• Up to 350 guests for standing drinks receptions
