About this space

The venue is available for exclusive hire, and boasts elegant features, high ceilings and provides an elegant venue space suitable for a wide range of events, including press days, receptions, weddings, seated dinners, standing receptions, and Christmas parties.

Kent House Knightsbridge is a beautiful townhouse with a rich, royal history. The first house was built in 1790 and was rented by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent (father of Queen Victoria) who enlarged it. In 1870 the house was rebuilt and turned into a remarkable salon and during the 1960s the glories of the house were restored and it now hosts exclusive events for private individuals and leading brands.

Kent House is the largest surviving townhouse of its kind. When you hire the venue you get the complete house with all of its rooms which can be used to provide a different pace across the course of the event, as guests move through the building enjoying different rooms. Guests are often welcomed downstairs and we host conferences and dinner dances upstairs in what was the original ballroom, with guests able to step out onto our terrace, where we also hold BBQs in the summer.

The history of the building means it has beautiful features such as our atrium ceiling, the beautiful cornicing of the walls and our black and white tiled floor in the Marble Hall, yet it is also neutrally decorated, giving great scope for branding and our clients often project logos and images onto the walls and even the outside of the venue.
