10-11 Carlton House Terrace Library

Celebrate the festive season amidst the grandeur of Carlton House Terrace, a distinguished Grade I listed Georgian Townhouse that proudly serves as the esteemed residence of The British Academy, nestled in the heart of Westminster.

This iconic Central London venue presents exclusive access to 10 distinctive rooms, each radiating its own unique ambiance and charm.

The Library envelops guests in a cosy, intimate atmosphere, reminiscent of a traditional London club room. In fact, during the 1920s when the Union Club owned the building, this room served as a dining area for club members, adding a touch of historical charm to its ambiance.

Featuring double-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light and offer stunning views of The Mall and St James’ Park, the Library is perfectly suited for daytime lunches or early evening festive dinners. Equipped with discreet built-in technology, the room seamlessly transitions from business meetings to dining and entertaining, catering to a variety of event needs.

Adjacent to the Reading Room, the Library serves as an ideal pre or post-dinner drinks reception area, providing a seamless flow for guests between spaces.

The shelves of the Library house a collection of books related to the humanities discipline, authored by fellows of, and academics sponsored by, The British Academy, further enriching the intellectual ambiance of the room.
