A stunning Georgian venue in the heart of London. Originally designed by John Nash, the architect behind Marble Arch and Brighton Pavilion; it dates from the early 1820s and is Grade I listed. Originally the home to the United Services Club, the building contains many of the clubs original treasures.

With five floors of event space including seven ornate function rooms, a state of the art Business Centre, meeting rooms, Art Deco café and vaulted brick wine bar, 116 Pall Mall is able to cater for a range of corporate or private events.

With five areas licensed for weddings, the ornate and sweeping grand staircase and the gallery can also be personalised for a special wedding day. We also have a private garden which provides the perfect backdrop for photographs and can be hired in the summer months for drinks receptions of up to 300.

In recent years Downton Abbey has been filmed in the building, as have scenes in The Dark Knight, Gandhi and Foyle’s War. James Bond author Ian Fleming was a regular diner at 116 Pall Mall during WW2 when he was a member of naval intelligence.

Although the way events look may have changed, we know how important face-to-face interaction and shared live experiences are, whether you’re holding a business meeting, training course, a wedding, or just need a space to work with colleagues. We have taken extensive measures to ensure we are a fully COVID-19 secure venue and will continue to explore ways that allow you to inspire and connect with others safely.

With the ever-changing rules being announced by the government, we want to let you know that we will remain as flexible and adaptable as possible in order to stay open and continue hosting you at 116 Pall Mall.

Do get in touch, the team would love to show you around.
