Porchester Hall
Bursting with sumptuous Art Deco glamour, Porchester Hall makes a stunning Bayswater backdrop for weddings and celebrations, and for business meetings and events for up to 630 delegates. Book this fabulous venue for exhibitions, product launches, conferences, awards ceremonies, training sessions, team building days, and glass chinking drinks receptions, gala dinners, and corporate parties.
That elegant 1920’s décor provides a superb setting for filming and photo shoots; think classic wrought iron banisters, twinkling chandeliers, ornamental bronzes and opulent marble walls and you’re there, plus there’s the stunning original 1929 swimming pool and Turkish spa.
The Main Hall has a decorative ceiling, rich oak and walnut panelling on the walls, and lush crimson velvet curtains, just imagine. Some seriously big names have performed at Porchester Hall, with the likes of Pink Floyd, Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue taking to the stage, amongst others. It is a big space, with room for receptions for 630, ceremonies and conferences for 500, and dining for 450 guests.
If you need space for breakouts, press meetings, or registrations there’s the Small Hall which holds up to 50 people, and the Duchess of York Suite & Blue Room; just around the corner is Bridgefield House, great for meetings for 30.
You can expect superfast wifi (this is central London after all), cutting edge AV technology, and the services of a very accomplished events team. Tastebud tantalising food for all events comes via approved caterers and the venue works with trusted partners to provide overnight accommodation in nearby hotels.
There are car parks within easy walking distance of Porchester Hall, and Royal Oak, Bayswater and Queensway underground stations are also just a short stroll away.
