The Kensington is a luxurious, five-star hotel in the heart of South Kensington, surrounded by the cream-toned buildings of West London and an array of gorgeous boutiques and buzzy restaurants. If you're looking for a London-based venue for a high-end event, whether that be an important milestone or birthday, or corporate event like a brand launch, The Kensington has years of experience in delivering expertly planned events in a beautiful setting.
Across the hotel there is a wealth of options to choose from, starting with The White Room. Here, a classic, period dining room with large, bay windows, huge book cases and wall panelling, offers a light and bright space for dinner parties or drinks receptions. For a sit-down meal, there's enough space for 34 people to attend, while for cocktails and canapes, there's capacity for 50.
Similarly, The Study also offers a traditionally beautiful and yet contemporary space for entertaining with a capacity of 30 people for a drinks reception. In this space you'll find an authentic fireplace, cosy banquette seating and plenty of natural light.
The Kensington also boasts an in-house events space called Town House, with a separate entrance to the main hotel, which includes another set of events spaces. The main room here is a large, open dining room with beautiful decor such as lilac woodwork and pretty, floral wallpaper. Colourful seating in leather and velvet upholstery works for either a formal sit-down dinner, as well as creating nooks for socialising for something more relaxed.
Then, there's also access to The K Bar which has a gentleman's club feel, rich-toned interiors and comfortable, leather chairs, which can also host a reception or smaller affair. There's plenty of spaces to choose from so be sure to ask the team about which one would work best for you.
