Two Temple Place

Tucked away on the banks of the Thames, just moments from the City, Two Temple Place is one of London’s best-kept secrets. This neo-Gothic mansion, built in 1895 for American tycoon William Waldorf Astor, blends grandeur and intimacy in a way few venues can match.

From corporate dinners and product launches to cocktail parties and weddings, Two Temple Place offers a uniquely atmospheric setting. Host up to 120 for dinner or 300 for standing receptions across richly decorated spaces filled with stained glass, intricate woodwork, and marble detailing.

Guests can sip champagne in the oak-panelled Library, complete with a hidden Victorian champagne safe before entering the magnificent Great Hall through a secret door. With options for live music or DJs in the Lower Gallery, Two Temple Place is a truly distinctive venue for unforgettable events.

A historic castle-like building with ornate windows, a chimney, and a ship ornament on the roof, illuminated by street lamps at dusk, with a gated entrance and a well-maintained lawn.
