The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court

The Edmond J. Safra Court, framed by Sir William Chambers’ neoclassical quad, is at the heart of Somerset House and offers a spectacular setting for bespoke and unforgettable events.

The emblematic Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court is our most sought-after space onsite, centered around the building’s iconic courtyard fountains, and framed on all sides by glorious Georgian-era 18th century architecture. Situated just off of the Strand – a short distance from Waterloo Bridge and Lancaster Place – the Courtyard is popular with both the public and Somerset House community alike throughout the year, and provides the stage and setting for a number of Somerset House’s most notable, seasonal events (including the Summer Series and Skate).
