About this space

The Court Room, one of London’s finest original Rococo interiors, provides an ideal setting for intimate dinners. A re-creation of the original Foundling Hospital Court Room used for entertaining important guests, the room contains many fine examples of British art and design with paintings by Thomas Gainsborough and William Hogarth, alongside a striking 18th-century marble chimneypiece.

The stunning Persian carpet enhances the Collection and tall windows open out onto Brunswick Square. Up to 40 can be seated, with a maximum of 20 on a single table. Alternatively this space provides the perfect setting for pre-dinner drinks or drinks receptions for up to 80.

Wedding · 60 guests · February 2026
We cannot thank the staff at The Foundling enough, especially Hannah, Mike, Ellen and the rest of the Events Team who made our wedding day so incredibly perfect. The venue is stunning and the team really do all they can to accommodate your day. If you’re thinking about hosting a wedding, or any other event at the Foundling, do it, it’s truly special.
