Foundling Museum

Handel and Hogarth dined here, Rococo style!

One of London’s hidden treasures, the Foundling Museum has recently been sensitively refurbished to tell the poignant story of London’s first home for abandoned children.

The Foundling Hospital, established by Captain Thomas Coram in 1739, was also Britain’s first public exhibition space for artists, and the venue for Handel’s first successful English performance of Messiah.

The museum is situated in London's Bloomsbury, on the former site of the Foundling Hospital.

The grade II listed building provides a stunning mix of historic interiors and contemporary spaces with modern catering facilities.

The Court Room is one of London's finest Rococo interiors and provides an ideal setting for intimate dinners.

The Picture Gallery displays the magnificent Foundling art collection including works by Hogarth, Gainsborough and Reynolds. It provides a unique backdrop for exclusive entertaining and spectacular events.

The Corporate Events Team works closely with a highly regarded list of caterers to provide an excellent level of service to clients and a memorable event for guests.
