Venue Info
Eltham Palace is one of London’s most extraordinary and distinctive venues. Originally a favoured medieval palace and later a royal Tudor residence, it was reinvented in the 1930s by the visionary millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld into a striking Art Deco masterpiece. Today, Eltham Palace can be exclusively hired as a spectacular setting for corporate events, offering a rare blend of royal history, 20th-century design and contemporary event potential.
Its elegant interiors offer a versatile combination for a range of events – from exclusive civil wedding ceremonies and grand receptions, to intimate dinners and large scale events.
Welcome your guests in the impressive Entrance Hall, ideal for registration, drinks and canapés. The Italian Drawing Room provides a versatile space for conferences, breakout sessions or a stylish lunch setting, while the adjoining terrace and South Lawn offer a beautiful backdrop for afternoon tea or evening drinks receptions.
In dramatic contrast to the Art Deco mansion, the Great Hall is an impressive example of medieval architecture, providing a spectacular setting for a wide range of corporate events, including conferences, lunches, away days, banquets and evening receptions. The atmosphere can be fully tailored with creative lighting and bespoke décor, arranged through the venue’s accredited suppliers to create the perfect ambience for your event.
