About this space

The Seamen's Hall, located on the ground floor of the South Wing, has marble floors, imposing Corinthian columns and huge windows, making it the perfect space for receptions, private dinners and other evening gatherings.

Entered via central doors from our stunning Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, the hall leads directly out onto our exclusive River Terrace, a section of which is included in the hire of the Seamen’s Hall, offering panoramic views of the Thames and surrounding iconic London landmarks. With original period features including black and white marble flooring, it offers an air of expansive elegance, lending itself beautifully as an evening venue.
