About this space

The Old Billiard Room is a blank-canvas function room in 8 Northumberland Avenue, anchored by its period architecture and formal, hall-like proportions.

Design: The interior presents a long, rectangular plan beneath a high decorated plaster ceiling, punctuated by tall arched windows and classical mouldings. The colour palette is restrained, providing a neutral backdrop for event lighting and temporary décor.

Features: The room includes a PA system and house speakers, venue Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The room provides wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and organisers may bring their own DJ. The room also incorporates a front-stage performance area and rigged lighting suitable for presentations and live acts.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a formal, architecturally strong space that supports seated dinners or AV-led presentations and performances.

What guests say: The room is well maintained and professionally run, with attentive on-site staff. The space presents a plush, formal appearance and maintains a high standard of presentation and upkeep.
