Tickets available below!
Stepping into the impressive 1929 GRADE II listed art deco building, situated in the City of Westminster, you are captivated by the stunning splendour of the elegant curled staircase with its ornamental bronze and wrought iron banisters, striking marble walls and exquisite crystal chandeliers. The red carpet flows up the stairs from the entrance to the main hall and this spectacular Titanic-esque entrance provides a stunning backdrop for photos.
The striking exterior of the hall sets the standard for the rest of the building. Portland Stone and Cornish Granite were used for the main structure and entrance steps of the venue with teak woodwork and bronze metalwork around the windows forming the details. The building’s attached leisure facilities provide an original 1920’s swimming pool and Turkish Spa complex which English Heritage notes as being the ‘best surviving example in the country’. Inside the main ballroom the walls are handsomely panelled in English oak and walnut with luxurious rich crimson velvet drapes. Fascinating figurines and motifs support the main beams and ten magnificent crystal chandeliers adorned in gold leaf hang from the finely engraved ceiling, bestowing a real sense of heritage to proceedings. The majestic Porchester Hall’s intimate acoustics make for an electric atmosphere, recalling the vintage music hall culture of London whilst there is a perfect dance floor made of sprung oak parquet. It promises to be an amazing experience!
