Banqueting House, London, SW1
Owned by HM The Queen, on behalf of the Nation, The Banqueting House is one of the country’s Historic Royal Palaces.
When completed in 1622, the venue astounded London society, and still has the power to dazzle and impress today’s most demanding guests.
Intended for the splendour and exuberance of Court masques, The Banqueting House is probably most famous for one real life drama: the execution of Charles I which took place there in 1649.
The venue has two spectacular spaces available for hire: The Main Room, with its magnificent ceiling painted by Peter Paul Ruben, and which will suit a variety of event types, including conferences, concerts, dinners and banquets.
The Undercroft can be used as an atmospheric reception area, or as an intimate, exclusive venue. Situated beneath the Banqueting House, this latter facility was originally designed as a drinking den for King James I ‘where the King did regale himself privately’.
