About this space

The Pavilion Room at Westminster Boating Base is a striking, open‑plan glass pavilion extending directly over the River Thames. With floor‑to‑ceiling windows, a wrap‑around riverside terrace, and panoramic views towards Battersea Power Station, it offers one of the most impressive waterfront event settings in central London.

Ideal for weddings, receptions, corporate dinners, conferences, and milestone celebrations, the Pavilion comfortably hosts up to 120 seated or 150 standing guests. The space is licensed for ceremonies, features natural daylight throughout, and transitions beautifully from daytime elegance to an atmospheric evening venue.

Guests can enjoy drinks on the heated terrace year‑round, and for a memorable touch, arrivals by boat can be arranged via the venue’s private pontoon.

With flexible layouts, integrated AV, and a dramatic riverside backdrop, the Pavilion Room delivers a uniquely impressive setting for any premium event.
