The Council Chamber

Located on the first floor at the front of our building, accessed via an opulent marble staircase, the wood-panelled Council Chamber is a timeless event space. Light, spacious and versatile, the Council Chamber is perfect for those looking for real creative flair with the ability to transform for a variety of different events.
Hire of the Council Chamber comes with direct access to the Members’ Library which acts as a breakout space and additional function room. The Members’ Library can be transformed into a bar, breakout room, dance floor or whatever additional space your event calls for.
