Great Arch Lobby

Great Arch Lobby

Blank canvas space, Victoria Embankment level

The newest venue available at Somerset House, for daytime and evening hire subject to exhibition programme. 

This neutral, adaptable space is ideal for standing drinks receptions, dinners and product launches.

With close proximity to the River Thames, this contemporary space is an impressive entrance point to Somerset House, formerly the entrance for the Navy Commissioner’s Barges.

This venue is the perfect location to gather before viewing one of the many exhibitions at Somerset House, or simply as a space to welcome guests before dinner in the Seamen’s Hall or Embankment East.
