About This Venue

The Banqueting House is a magnificent 17th-century architectural masterpiece designed by Inigo Jones, located in the heart of Whitehall. This historic royal palace venue features the stunning main hall with its world-famous Rubens ceiling commissioned by Charles I, creating an unparalleled setting for prestigious events. The venue offers flexible spaces for corporate dining, receptions, and ceremonial events, accommodating up to 400 guests for standing receptions or 160 for seated dinners.
