The Blue Room

This stately room is elegantly decorated with cream and lilac panelled walls, blue carpet and thirty blue upholstered seats. The layout of the seating is formal but the velvet draped windows lend plenty of light to lift the atmosphere and the room is set off with arrangements of fresh flowers. The maximum capacity of this room is thirty people.

Maximum of 30 people:

£80.00 (Mon to Thurs - up to 31st March 2010)

£100 (Fri to Sat - up to 31st March 2010)

The Yellow Room:

This beautiful room combines the formality of the Blue Room with the informal cosiness of the Lord Mayor's Retiring Room. The panelled walls are decorated in shades of corn, gold and cream with a blue carpet and yellow upholstered seating. It is an ideal setting for small groups - twenty people maximum.

Maximum of 20 people:

£80.00 (Mon to Thurs - up to the 31st March 2010)

The Reception Room:

This room has a wonderful ceiling with elaborate fretwork and cornicing. The luxurious blue velvet drapes and blue carpet complement the impressive wood panelling. This room has seating for seventy people with standing room for up to thirty more. The room is perfect for anyone wishing to make a grand entrance, with large double doors and a small aisle leading to the Registrar's table.

If you wish to hold your wedding in this room on a weekday, we will need to reserve it especially for you, but it is always available for weddings on Saturdays.

£280.00 (Mon to Thurs - up to 31st March 2010)

£300.00 (Fri to Sat - up to 31st March 2010)

The Purple Room:

With its long aisle and elegant décor, this room offers couples a traditional and stylish setting for their ceremony.  With seating for up to eighty guests, this large room is decorated with lilac panelled walls, purple carpet and corn-coloured upholstered chairs. The original fireplaces at each end of the room have been uncovered and restored. Fresh flower arrangements add a touch of colour and provide a lovely backdrop for photographs. Above one fireplace is the City of Westminster crest and above the other a wonderful water colour and ink drawing of the building by its architect Sir Edwin Cooper.  Purple silk drapes with gold trimming adorn the windows, while the impressive art deco style luminaires cast a beautiful array of light across the room.

Maximum of 80 people.
