Our spectacular, neoclassical building offers 12 blank canvas event spaces, suitable for staging events of all styles and size.

From the urban oasis of the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, your guests will experience a dramatic sense of occasion as they access The Navy Board Rooms is via the soaring Nelson Stair, each flight a one-off architectural flourish. The collection of four rooms exudes the stately restraint of the Palladian style, with marble fireplaces and wooden floors. During the day or evening, expansive windows offer uninterrupted views of the River Thames towards Westminster and the London Eye.

Ratings & Reviews

We went for to the bubble booths at Somerset House and it was amazing! First and foremost the staff were simply wonderful, our server was brilliant and we made an error with the booking and the team helped find a solution. The food was great and at £39 for 2 courses and £45 for 3, worth the money. Wonderful location, great food and service. Well worth a visit.

Was so disappointed in the Dodgems event at Somerset House, felt completely ripped off and expected so much more. A nasty little booth with a sticky table, two cocktails that tasted like they had half the ingredients missing (the important half - Prosecco!). Then a 45 minute wait for a 4 minute ride on a dodgem that costs £2.50 at our local fairground. This paltry offering cost us a whopping £60! And I had to buy my child's soft drink on top. No idea what Somerset House were thinking when they priced this event. It really was disappointing.
