Royal Hospital Chelsea

Set in the heart of fashionable Chelsea, a stone’s throw from the King’s Road and with stunning views across the Thames, the Royal Hospital offers a range of versatile indoor and outdoor spaces for celebrations and special events.

Founded in 1682 by King Charles II and designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the Royal Hospital was built as a ‘retreat for veterans broken by age and war’. For over 330 years it has been providing care for former soldiers of the British Army and is home to the famous scarletcoated Chelsea Pensioners. 

The Grade I and II* Heritage Listed buildings house exquisite period interiors that feature a wealth of architectural detail; whilst outside, spacious, and elegant courtyards create the perfect setting for any occasion. In addition to its beautiful surroundings, the Royal Hospital can provide a team of multi-disciplined, dedicated, and experienced events specialists to ensure that any occasion is truly memorable. 

With a range of event spaces to offer we can accommodate anything from a 320 drinks reception to a 10 person board meeting.
