The Drawing Room:
Peaceful and elegant, the Drawing Room is the perfect place to welcome guests for a pre-lunch or dinner reception. It also serves as a memorable and effective presentation room. Adorned with beautiful Victorian crystal chandeliers and Herbert Draper’s striking painting 'The Gates of Dawn', the room is a film-maker’s paradise. The stunning decor creates a relaxed atmosphere and sets the scene for any occasion.
The Court Dining Room:
Richly decorated and visually dramatic, the CourtDining Room is often used in conjunction with the Drawing Room as a companion room for receptions, lunches and dinners. With Sergei Pavlenko’s portrait of The Queen facing the magnificent Gobelin tapestries, created for the French King in the 18th century, the room is a wonderful backdrop for fine dining, meetings and conferences.
The Livery Hall:
Set beneath the dramatic ceiling paintings, depicting Shakespearean scenes by 19th century artist Herbert Draper, the Livery Hall is undoubtedly one of the country’s finest event spaces. Often used in films as a double for Buckingham Palace, the room displays the Drapers’ Company’s collection of royal portraits and a sample of its silver collection.
