Seamen's Hall

Seamen's Hall

Seamen's Hall

Stately elegance, iconic views

Available for evening hire

Linking the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court and the River Terrace, flooded by natural daylight from both, The Seamen's hall combines the exuberance of Corinthian columns with the restraint of a black and white marble floor. Somerset House was the nerve centre of the nation's naval power for almost a century from 1789. This space offers an air of expansive elegance for evening events with the ability for guests to enjoy al fresco entertaining.
