About Westminster Boating Base

Westminster Boating Base is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Westminster Boating Base is a contemporary riverside event venue and training facility in Pimlico, positioned on the north bank of the River Thames. We host weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, community functions, and filming, offering two versatile event spaces that can be hired individually or together. The venue accommodates up to 300 standing guests across all internal and external areas, making it suitable for both large‑scale events and more intimate gatherings.

Our main space, The Pavilion Room, is a bright and expansive glass‑fronted event room featuring floor‑to‑ceiling windows with uninterrupted panoramic views of the Thames. It provides an impressive setting for wedding receptions, conferences, gala dinners, charity events, award ceremonies, and high‑capacity corporate functions.

Our second space, The Edgson Room, offers a more intimate atmosphere with direct access to the riverside terrace overlooking the Thames. It is ideal for board meetings, workshops, smaller private events, or as a breakout or after‑dinner space when paired with the Pavilion for larger events.

With flexible layouts, striking waterfront views, and excellent transport links in Central London, Westminster Boating Base is highly sought after by clients searching for riverside wedding venues, Thames‑side corporate event spaces, or unique London venues for hire.
