Lambeth Palace
Lambeth Palace offers an extraordinary setting for events in the heart of London. Sitting on the south bank of the River Thames, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament, this historic landmark has been the London home of the Archbishops of Canterbury for almost 800 years.
Behind its famous gates lies a collection of remarkable event spaces, combining centuries of history and architectural character with the flexibility required for memorable modern events. From elegant private dinners and receptions to conferences, meetings and larger celebrations, Lambeth Palace provides a setting quite unlike anywhere else in the capital.
The magnificent Guard Room is one of the Palace’s most impressive entertaining spaces, with its historic features and sense of occasion making it particularly suited to dinners, receptions, presentations and corporate events. The Great Hall provides a spectacular backdrop for larger gatherings, while the Palace’s State Rooms offer beautiful surroundings for more intimate dinners, meetings and receptions.
Lambeth Palace is particularly well suited to organisations looking for something beyond the traditional London hotel or conference venue. Its combination of heritage, exclusivity and central location creates an immediate sense of occasion for guests, making it an exceptional choice for corporate dinners, leadership events, conferences, receptions and special celebrations.
Events can be tailored to make the most of the individual character of the Palace’s rooms, with a dedicated events team supporting clients throughout the planning process.
Despite its historic surroundings, the Palace is conveniently located in central London, with Westminster just across the river and excellent transport connections close by.
For organisations searching for an iconic London venue with genuine history, character and prestige, Lambeth Palace offers the opportunity to bring guests together in one of the capital’s most distinctive and memorable settings.
