10-11 Carlton House Terrace Wolfson Room & Gallery

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 offers exclusive access to 10 distinctive rooms, each radiating its own unique ambiance and charm.

The Wolfson Room, Gallery, and Number 11 lobby combine to create a comprehensive private event space, complete with a registration area, plenary room, and a separate catering space.

Welcoming guests into the house, the Number 11 Lobby boasts dual staircases that provide a memorable entrance to your event. This staircase ensures complete privacy for you and your guests, and upon request, a private entrance to the building can be arranged for a truly intimate experience.

The lobby serves as an ideal spot for a registration desk, a manned cloakroom, or a pre-event toast. Adorned with a fireplace that can be beautifully decorated with flowers, and casual seating that can be arranged or removed according to your needs, it sets the stage for elegant receptions.

The Wolfson Room, the largest space in the venue, exudes an air of elegance with its palette of ivory and light blue. Offering marvellous views over the Royal Park, The Mall, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey, it is perfect for conferences, panel discussions, awards ceremonies, and away days. Equipped with a built-in PA system and the option for additional features such as a stage and screen, it also doubles as an exceptional private dining space for large groups.

Adjacent to the Wolfson Room, the Gallery is bright and airy, offering versatility for various purposes. Whether used as a catering area throughout the day, a pre or post-event reception space for drinks, or a networking area, it can be customized to suit your needs. With options for low seating, buffet tables, or poseur tables, it encourages natural mingling and conversation.

Featuring textiles by Michelle House commissioned by The British Academy, and adorned with architectural details of the building, the Gallery is further enriched by artwork donations from Fellows Ray Pahl and John Golding, adding a touch of sophistication to your event ambiance.
