Located on Tower Hill offering exceptional views of the historic Tower of London, Trinity House is a delightful Georgian gem of a venue. Height, light and space characterise the five rooms available for exclusive use, four of them south-facing with Tower and Trinity Square Garden views. The working home of the General Lighthouse Authority, Trinity House is dotted throughout with intriguing maritime artefacts and treasures, including the brass bell from the Royal Yacht Britannia.
Conveniently located on the doorstep of the Tower Hill underground station, the building stands behind iron railings and cobbled paving, the setting for a segment of the James Bond movie ‘Skyfall’. Trinity House has also been the location for other filmed productions including ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’, ‘Johnny English Reborn’, ‘The Professionals’, The Invisible Woman’, and the ‘MasterChef’ TV series.
The grand Reception Hall leads through to a distinctive twin-curved staircase and stairwell, the location of numerous joyous wedding photographs over the three decades that the event management team has been organising prestigious milestone corporate and private events.
The oval-shaped Library is the venue’s most spacious room seating up to 130 or 180 standing, and features a minstrels’ gallery, impressive crystal chandeliers, fascinating 16th and 17th stained-glass window panels, and a rare collection of maritime silver artefacts. Two break-out rooms offer added flexibility.
Accommodating up to 130 standing and 60 seated, the elegant Court room has the feel of a salon a stately home featuring a spectacular allegorical blue trompe l’oeil ceiling, a large and rare single-loom carpet, and working fireplace for winter cosiness. A breakout room provides added flexibility.
Included in hire charges is the use of gold-crested red leather chairs and beautifully polished tables – and even a ceremonial sword for cake-cutting!
In addition to the Tower Hill, Aldgate and Fenchurch stations are within easy walking distance and major rail links are a short taxi ride. London City Airport is approximately five miles away and a 20-minute drive. There is (limited) public parking availability immediately in front of the House.
