The Space

River Terrace

Set against the backdrop of Somerset House’s iconic 18th century façade and with sweeping views across the Thames, the River Terrace is one of our most exclusive spaces and the perfect location for a standing reception.

The River Terrace is a glamorous alfresco London setting to entertain guests in the warmer months and the stunning Seamen's Hall is included in your hire as a wet weather contingency, with a capacity of up to 200, along with jumbrellas.

Perfect for summer parties, you can invite your guests to a private barbecue expertly planned by one of our caterers or simply enjoy a drinks reception while the London landmarks light up your event.

Seamen's Hall

The Seamen's Hall, located on the ground floor of the South Wing, has marble floors, imposing Corinthian columns and huge windows, making it the perfect space for receptions, private dinners and other evening gatherings.

Entered via central doors from our stunning Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, the hall leads directly out onto our exclusive River Terrace, a section of which is included in the hire of the Seamen’s Hall, offering panoramic views of the Thames and surrounding iconic London landmarks. With original period features including black and white marble flooring, it offers an air of expansive elegance, lending itself beautifully as an evening venue.

You can hire the Seamen’s Hall as a stand-alone venue or in combination with other spaces — for instance, a drinks reception in the Portico Rooms followed by dinner in this beautiful room.
