Portico Terrace and Foyer at The National Gallery
About this space
With unrivalled views overlooking the iconic Trafalgar Square, the Portico Entrance is an extraordinary event space. It is ideal for a summer drinks reception or alfresco dining on the exquisite black and white mosaic floor.
The relief above the Portico entrance shows two young women
symbolising Europe and Asia. This relief was originally intended for John Nash’s Marble Arch.
