The Space

A striking riverside venue at Somerset House, bringing together sweeping Thames views, flexible spaces, and a lively central London setting. It has a vibrant yet stylish atmosphere that makes every event feel special, whether you are planning a summer party, wedding, or client showcase.

The venue is incredibly versatile, designed to work just as well for corporate functions as it does for private celebrations. Organisers use it for everything from brand activations and product launches to weddings, team socials, and end-of-year parties. With both indoor and outdoor areas, it gives you the freedom to shape the day around your style and guest list.

What makes stand out is the mix of premium touches and practical support. There is a dedicated team to help with planning, curated menus created by top chefs, and options to elevate your event with extras like live music, food stations, or bespoke drinks packages. The overall feel is relaxed yet professional, giving you confidence that your event will run smoothly while still feeling fun and memorable.

Location is another big plus. Somerset House is one of London’s most iconic landmarks, and sits right on the riverside terrace. Guests can arrive easily from Temple, Covent Garden, Charing Cross, Embankment, or Waterloo, all within a short walk. The venue is fully accessible too, so everyone can enjoy the experience without hassle.
