Eltham Palace

There’s little doubting the allure of sophisticated 1930s Hollywood glamour at Eltham Palace. Add a sprinkle of ancient medieval charm and a private oasis of stunning gardens and the result is one of London’s smartest, most unusual and most talked about corporate event locations. With a series of linked Art Deco rooms, a stunning medieval Great Hall and 19 acres of moated gardens all exclusively yours, Eltham Palace will lift your corporate event into a truly unique and unforgettable occasion.

The approach to Eltham Palace couldn’t be more impressive. After crossing an ancient bridge, cars can drop guests off right outside the elegant front doors which lead into the Art Deco mansion. There is a large car park on site, just a short walk from the house with lovely views of the gardens.

Entrance Hall
Inside, this circular wood-panelled room, exquisitely picked out in shades of coffee and cream, is a stunning setting for drinks. A pair of curved staircases lead to some first floor meeting/break out rooms and French doors lead directly to the terrace beyond, where drinks may be served in fine weather, overlooking the flower gardens.

Italian Drawing Room
In burnt orange, ochre and blues, this room – which has its own grand piano – can be used with the Entrance Hall and adjoining Dining Room for drinks receptions. It also has a door out to the terrace.

Dining Room
Striking in dramatic black, pink and silver this is one of the ‘signature’ Art Deco rooms of the house. Its black lacquer doors have animals depicted in silver, including a ring tailed lemur – the Courtauld’s pet lemur once lived in luxury at Eltham Palace with his own hand-painted living quarters and kitchen!

Great Hall
Separated from the main house only by a sliding Chinese lacquer screen, the contrast between the Art Deco and medieval styles is stunning. The hall is ideal for conferences, dining and larger events, but also often hosts dinners with dancing. A minstrels’ gallery may be used for live music performances. The room opens directly onto lawns, which can be used in fine weather.

Gardens
Drinks may be served in the grounds in conjunction with events inside the house. Eltham Palace may also be hired for filming and photography – it has played a starring role in a Cheryl Cole pop video, a Gucci advert as well as in Fry and Laurie: Reunited.
