Tastefully decorated in pale grey and blue with pale pink door arches and original coloured-glass windows, the venue has a striking presence in its London setting. An exterior courtyard together with its rear garden provide valuable outside spaces for a drinks reception. Inside, guests find the venue is brimming with original features. LET’S CELEBRATE! The Upper Hall and Lower Hall are both available for celebrations for up to 200 people. The entrance retains its original black and white mosaic marble floor and leads to the Lower Hall, with its grand vaulted ceiling. Wedding breakfasts can be held in the double-height Upper Hall, which houses a splendid horseshoe-shaped gallery and original pipe organ. WE LOVE… The venue looks particularly striking when tastefully lit with fairylights or uplighters. EXHIBITION LONDON 020 8498 4937 | www.exhibitionlondon.co.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
