Features And Services
- At 678 square metres, The Whitehall Ballroom, the largest space, is named after its historic Whitehall address. This spectacular ballroom is double height with ceilings of seven metres at the highest point allowing for dramatic staging and set design for the most creative product launches, parties and events. A special feature is the ability for a vehicle to enter the Ballroom via two car lifts. The ballroom is fully sound proofed, as is the partition wall when used to separate the ballroom into two spaces.
- Our pre-function area, The Lawrence, 425 square metres. Named after Lt. T.E. Lawrence (who found fame as Lawrence of Arabia), this area is accessed from the majestic main staircase. An awe-inspiring sense of grand arrival into a very special place is palpable on decent from the stairs. Host a glamourous cocktail reception or stylish lunch here, and with mobile bars and food stations for live cooking you can create a fun and immersive theme fit for the occasion in this impressive room.
- The Morse Meeting Room at 94 square metres and Code Meeting Room at 89 square metres are a tribute to Morse Code, a means of communication widely used when the building operated as The Old War Office in the 20th Century. The spaces are versatile as the rooms can be configured in different formats since they are divisible into 6 separate rooms. Each room has a built-in wall mounted 55" LED flat screen and discreet drop-down projection facilities are available in some rooms. A separate and private ante room is used for catering, meaning meeting room events and guests are separate from The Whitehall Ballroom events.
