Old Royal Naval College

The Old royal Naval College: an award winning historic venue on the River Thames. A venue that oozes opulence and grandeur.

When hosting your event at the Old Royal Naval College, you will find yourselves immersed in history, dating as far back as the Tudors, where King Henry VIII once called his home.

The Painted Hall, created between 1708–27 by Sir James Thornhill, is often described as ‘the Sistine Chapel of the UK’. It confers abundant prestige and elegance for your event.

The Painted Hall provides a dramatic and magnificent setting for galas, award ceremonies and private events, whilst the Admiral’s House offers intimate charm and rare versatility in traditional town-house style for a smaller party size. 

Our team of co-ordinators work closely with prestigious suppliers to help create ideas come to life, from large scale production or bespoke canapes and drinks for product launches. 

Gracing the banks of the River Thames, the timeless elegance and striking symmetry of this architectural masterpiece will enchant you and your guests from the very moment you arrive, creating memories to treasure forever, whatever the time of year.
