This unique venue was designed in the style of a Grand French Chateau and from the moment you walk through the front doors, you are aware of fine architectural detail and elegance. The grand free standing staircase, cut from solid Sicilian marble and reputed to be the largest of its kind in Europe, intricate plasterwork and tall, lofty ceilings, ensure it now enjoys a protected status.
One Whitehall Place was built to be a place to gather and discus, to relax and to entertain. It has hosted some of the country’s most distinguished and colourful characters. Politicians and journalists, radicals and bohemians alike mingled within these walls and one can only guess at the thoughts and ideas that have been conceived and debated here.
As the name suggests, the Reading & Writing Room was an oasis of peace in which to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of political life. The Reading & Writing Room boasts some of London’s best views over the River Thames, London Eye and the adjacent award-winning Whitehall Gardens. This is the perfect space for receptions, exhibitions and elegant dinners. Please note due to our license the latest time for events to finish is 1am.

Excellent room and food. Had an issue with the AV and no-one attended the room when I requested.

Wonderful building. Been to function here before and was good. This occasion not so good. Food was served to half the table and rest had to wait at least 10 mins or so. Service very unprofessional. Food not great. No condiments. Beef with no mustard or horseradish... really not great I'm afraid. Way below what you should expect.
