Unique By Design: Events Beneath Big Ben and Iconic Gothic Splendour

January 2025

The Palace of Westminster is a triumph of design, famed for its soaring Gothic Revival architecture and intricate details. Among its most unique features is the Elizabeth Tower—home to the world-renowned Big Ben—offering an unmistakable backdrop for events steeped in grandeur.

Inside, the Palace’s design tells a story. The work of Augustus Pugin is showcased in the meticulous carvings, vibrant stained glass, and sumptuous gold leaf that adorn its interiors, each element symbolising aspects of British history and democracy. Hosting an event here means inviting your guests into spaces where design and purpose intertwine: the Members’ Dining Room, for instance, is a masterpiece of parliamentary elegance, while St Stephen’s Hall is a striking reminder of its origins as a royal chapel.

What truly sets the Palace apart is the experience it offers—hosting events in a space where form, function, and history combine in a way only this venue can achieve.

From conferences under ornate ceilings to dinners surrounded by riverside views, every occasion here is imbued with a sense of design unlike anywhere else.
