Somerset House Information:

An iconic former palace on the West End/City borders, Somerset House is a thriving cultural centre for London, housing the celebrated collections of The Courtauld Gallery & a series of new exhibitions throughout the year as well as being an inimitable events venue. The site offers a total of seven different entertaining spaces to mix & match, from the sweeping courtyard, Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, which can hold summer parties for up to 1,500, to the more intimate Navy Board Rooms. In summer, the courtyard hosts a vibrant series of open-air concerts & film screenings while winter heralds the opening of the picture-perfect Somerset House Ice Rink.
