The oldest of the four Inns of Court, the historic buildings are set in beautiful, private grounds in Central London.
The Old Hall, a fine example of Tudor architecture, dates back to 1490 and has many notable features including the wooden screen at the south end, designed by Inigo Jones, and Hogarth’s painting of “Paul before Felix” on the North wall. The Crypt beneath the Old Hall was for centuries used for storage of fuel, food and wine. Now the brick groin vaulting has been restored to its former glory and is used as a reception area.
The Great Hall was opened by Queen Victoria in 1845 and is the largest hall of any of the Inns and is considered to be one of the most distinguished buildings designed by Philip Hardwick working in the Tudor Revival style. On the North Wall is a huge and magnificent fresco executed by G.F. Watts, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, showing the world’s law givers from Moses to Edward I. The Bench Rooms are hired in conjunction with the hall and are used as reception areas.
Steeped in tradition and grandeur, the halls provide a unique and spectacular setting for any event from small intimate gatherings to large lavish banquets.
The Old Court Room is named after its original use and was once a lively scene of legal activity. Today its walls house the Inn’s antiquarian books and the room offers a tranquil setting flooded with natural daylight, with views across the Inn’s estate. This intimate room makes a great setting for lunches and dinners of up to 47 guests, receptions for up to 80 people and lectures for up to 47 delegates

Fabulous architecture and gardens. Lots of history and well worth reading up on the area. Good selection of expensive cars parked here! Search out the hawks that are brought here three times a week to keep the seagulls away. A perfect place to take time out from the busier parts of the city.
