Navy Board Rooms

The Georgian-era Navy Board Rooms are an impressive & theatrical suite of rooms with a distinct heritage & unique charisma.

Steeped in history, the Georgian-era Navy Board Rooms are an impressive and theatrical suite of rooms with a distinct heritage and unique charisma. Accessed via the grand, sweeping Nelson Staircase – set in a rotunda, a singular architectural attraction in itself – the main space is adorned with marble fireplaces, period detailing, and wooden floors to build a striking, singular atmosphere.

Originally home to the Navy Board, overseeing British naval affairs worldwide, this interconnected set of rooms is illuminated by large sash windows – offering panoramic views across the Thames – and is a hugely popular venue for press days, fashion events, meetings, conferences, receptions, dinners, wine tastings and exhibitions.

For larger events, you can hire the adjoining graceful Portico Rooms for increased capacity.
