Venue Description

The Gladstone Library

There are very few meeting rooms near Westminster as prestigious as One Whitehall Place – where you will find The Gladstone Library. Here you’ll find gorgeous high ceilings, a magnificent freestanding grand marble staircase, glittering chandeliers and spectacular views over the River Thames and London Eye.

Its founder, William Gladstone, was a four-time British Prime Minister, whose name lives on here in the Gladstone Library. Though the 30,000 volumes that line the shelves today are faithful replicas, the room is otherwise just as he would have known it, including the gantry giving access to the upper levels, which now serves as a minstrel gallery.

One of the finest function rooms in the heart of London City, the Gladstone Library offers 343 square meters of space and features original, magnificent, tiled pillars and Fireplaces. You can enjoy high ceilings, natural daylight, air-conditioning and wireless internet access. Perfect for networking events, cocktail receptions or Christmas parties, the room is fully flexible and can hold up to 252 guests’ cabaret style. The hotel can provide staging to cater for all types of events, and our in-house AV company can provide on-site technicians as required.
