Dartmouth House
Dartmouth House, home of the English-Speaking Union is an elegant mansion set in the heart of London’s Mayfair, providing the perfect setting for hosting meetings, events and weddings.
Dartmouth House was originally constructed in the 18th-century, before being converted into a stunning Mayfair town house Lord Revelstoke in the late 19th-century. The building is wrought with history, and some original features still stand, including the Belgian marble staircase leading to the first floor, and the hand-painted ceiling by Pierre-Victor Galland.
The first floor drawing rooms can be used independently or combined to provide space for up to 150 guests for dinner or 170 for a reception. The adjacent Churchill room with its opulent wood panelling possesses a stately presence for events catering for up to 70 guests seated, or 100 for drinks. All rooms on the first floor are interconnecting, creating a nice flow to events
