The Library wraps you in the warmth of polished wood and leather-bound volumes the moment you enter. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves create an intimate cocoon of knowledge and sophistication, while the gallery level above adds dramatic height to this distinguished Victorian space. We've watched countless events unfold here, from corporate presentations where speakers command attention from beside the grand fireplace, to cocktail parties where guests mingle between the book stacks, glasses in hand. Round tables dressed in white linen transform the space for formal dinners, accommodating 66 seated guests who dine surrounded by centuries of collected wisdom. For larger gatherings, we configure the room theatre-style for 80, or clear the floor entirely to welcome 100 guests for standing receptions. The rich red carpet underfoot and warm wood tones create an atmosphere that feels both scholarly and celebratory. Natural light streams through tall windows during daytime events, illuminating the Victorian architectural details that make this room so special. When evening arrives, the lighting shifts to create a more intimate mood, perfect for networking events or private celebrations. Our built-in projection facilities and PA system handle presentations seamlessly, while the acoustics, softened by thousands of books, ensure every word carries clearly. Corporate groups particularly appreciate how The Library balances professionalism with personality. Board meetings for 36 fit comfortably, while classroom setups for 40 work brilliantly for training sessions. The U-shaped configuration seats 30 and encourages discussion, with the fireplace providing a natural focal point. Being moments from Trafalgar Square means your guests arrive easily from anywhere in London. The combination of our Grade II listed building's heritage, the surrounding history of old Whitehall Palace, and this book-lined sanctuary creates an atmosphere you won't find in conventional event spaces.
