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.

The River Room still displays its
original oak panelling, while the floor
to ceiling windows reveal stunning,
all-encompassing views towards the
London Eye and River Thames.
The quintessential setting for a private
dinner with a fabulous backdrop.

The River Room, once the National Liberal Club's Ladies Lounge, looks out across Victoria Embankment and the River Thames. The River Room is an ideal room for private dining or smaller receptions and our head chef will create the perfect menu for you.

    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.
