This stunning room boasts original Victorian features such as a fireplace and over mantel, decorative cornicing and ceiling features, chandelier and a large, east-facing, bay window which affords a view of the Queen’s Gardens garden and abundant natural light and windows that open to provide fresh air. These features create a grand impression whatever the occasion for bringing people together.

The Ellis Room

From £32 +VAT per hour 


This room, to the rear of the building, has big-sky views of the gardens and apartments behind. It’s pared-back features, and minimal decoration lend a modern feel to the room and offers a blank canvas for a range of meeting options.
