170 Queens Gate
Home to the Rector of Imperial College London, this Grade II-listed Victorian townhouse in Kensington’s museum quarter serves up elegant backdrops for a range of events, from conferences, photo shoots and receptions to dinners.
Flexible facilities can accommodate up to 100 guests but small groups won’t rattle around either. The Council Room, with its sparkling chandelier, beautifully restored period furnishings and historic paintings, provides a grand setting for conferences but is particularly popular for weddings. Smaller meetings can be held in the Drawing Room, while the cosy Solar Room has views of the courtyard garden, itself a lovely spot for receptions and summer parties.
