Porchester Hall

Description

Porchester Hall is an opulent, art deco style, Grade II listed banqueting hall in Westminster. Available for private hire, the venue is popular for charity galas, cultural weddings, private parties, concerts, conferences, fashion shows, filming, corporate events and more.

The striking marble entrance, staircase and crystal chandelier are sure to impress your guests on arrival. The lavish main hall is panelled in English oak and walnut, with rich crimson velvet curtains, more glistening chandeliers, and an engraved ceiling. At the head of the hall is an oak panelled stage – perfect for bands or other entertainers - and art deco skylight. There are numerous backstage rooms that can be used as supplier or prep areas.

There’s room for 400 seated with a dancefloor or 630 standing in the Main Hall.

The venue has a fantastic network of tried and tested caterers and suppliers, however as they understand the importance of making events entirely bespoke, they also allow external contractors if preferred.

Porchester Hall is within walking distance of Royal Oak, Bayswater and Queensway Tube stations, with multi-storey and on-street parking nearby.
