Weddings and private celebrations:

From the moment you step into the home of the British Academy, you know you have found somewhere that is not only spectacular but one of a kind.

This is one building with two distinct personalities. The elegant reception hall of Number 10, with its bold stone walls and grand doorways, opens out into a sweeping black marble staircase that looks up three floors, past balconies and columns, into the building’s domed glass ceiling. In William Gladstone’s former home of Number 11, it is a more intricate English affair with a softer, delicate palette of whites, ivories and light blues.Whichever way you see the British Academy building, its receptions, landings, stairways, rooms and balconies can offer the most exceptional backdrop to your wedding celebration.
