Porchester Hall is a 1920s Art Deco masterpiece tucked away in Bayswater, this grand setting has hosted some of the most legendary events in London’s history. From the soaring careers of Amy Winehouse and Pink Floyd to the cinematic magic of Monty Python and Beyoncé’s ‘Black Is King’, this place has seen it all. Now, it’s ready to set the stage for your next big occasion.
From glitzy charity galas and dreamlike weddings to high-energy corporate events, fashion shows, and concerts, Porchester Hall is the kind of venue that immediately impresses. Guests arrive through a lavish marble entrance, stepping into a space of ornate chandeliers, high ceilings, and pure 1920s glamour. The Main Hall, the venue’s crowning jewel, offers 459 square metres of elegance, accommodating up to 400 seated guests (with a dancefloor) or 630 standing. Whether you’re planning an opulent banquet, a star-studded awards night, or a high-profile industry event, the Hall’s state-of-the-art AV, lighting, and entertainment options ensure it delivers on both atmosphere and practicality.
But not every event needs to be a grand spectacle, and that’s where Porchester Hall’s smaller spaces come into play. The Small Hall, Duchess of York Suite, and Blue Room offer more intimate settings for private dinners, VIP receptions, and business meetings. These spaces can also be used as stylish breakout areas, perfect for adding a touch of exclusivity to larger events.
For something completely different, the venue even has a hidden gem - a newly-renovated 1929 swimming pool and Turkish spa, a striking and unexpected backdrop that’s been a favourite for film crews, creative shoots, and unconventional event planners.
Located in Bayswater with excellent transport links, Porchester Hall combines historic grandeur with modern convenience, offering dry-hire flexibility and full-service packages to suit any event. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime celebration or a high-energy business gathering, this is the kind of venue that makes an impression - and ensures your event is truly unforgettable.
