If you're after a Christmas party with gravitas, grandeur and just a hint of nautical flair, Trinity House might be the catch of the season. Located in the City of London near the Tower of London and Trinity Square Gardens, this elegant Georgian building has been keeping an eye on the nation’s ships and seafarers since 1514. Nowadays, it’s just as comfortable keeping an eye on your canapé tray and making sure your guests are well looked after.
Behind its neoclassical façade lies a suite of beautifully preserved rooms that have hosted everyone from royalty to Admiralty bigwigs – and now, your colleagues. Hire of Trinity House is exclusive, meaning all five rooms are yours for the night. Most of the rooms interconnect, offering varied spaces for formal banquet dinners, standing cocktail and canape receptions, dancefloor hire, and entertainment.
You might kick off Christmas hire at Trinity House with a reception under the soaring ceiling fresco in the Court Room overlooking Trinity Square, before heading to The Library for dinner with up to 130 guests. The Court Room, which accommodates up to 80 seated theatre-style also connects to The Luncheon Room offering a useful respite area for up to 40 guests standing.
While Trinity House might technically be a lighthouse authority, it’s also something of a beacon for those wanting a party that’s a little more impressive than the usual tinsel-and-turkey affair. Think sweeping staircases, polished oak, and maritime artefacts aplenty – ideal for guests who enjoy their celebrations with a side of history. And with a catering package from trusted suppliers (plus florists and entertainment recommendations), you can leave the logistics to those who do it best.
Whether you're planning a team soirée or a client-facing bash, Trinity House offers a central London setting that’s dignified without being stuffy, historic without feeling dusty, and entirely set up for a Christmas party worth raising a glass to.
