About this space

Court Room, a Dining Room in Apothecaries' Hall, is a wood‑panelled room whose most distinctive quality is its historic carved panelling and framed oil portraits that create a formal, intimate interior.

Design: The Court Room has dark timber panelling and a sequence of framed oil portraits that give the room a traditional, formal appearance. The lighting is low and warm, and deep windows concentrate light at table level to sustain an intimate dining focus.

Features: The Court Room is equipped with a PA system and speakers and allows clients to play their own music. The room provides Wi‑Fi and is accessible via a step‑free guest entrance, with wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Private dining groups seeking a formal, seated dinner in an intimate, historically characterful setting.

What sets it apart: A private Champagne bar adjoins the hall, providing a dedicated drinks space separate from the dining room.

What guests say: The Court Room is historic and impressive in its heritage fittings. The space maintains a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
