Sir John Soane's Museum
This Museum was designed by one of Britain's greatest architects, Sir John Soane (1753-1837). Behind its white Portland stone original facade lies London's most unexpected interior, every aspect of which reflects its creator's architectural ingenuity and desire to create a poetic and inspirational setting for his superb collections. Its reception rooms, domestic in scale, are particularly suitable for small or medium sized dinners and receptions.
Dinners
Pre-dinner drinks are served in the elegant Drawing Rooms on the first floor, decorated in the original 'Patent Yellow' colour with yellow silk curtains. An optional pre-dinner short guided tour of the ground floor rooms can be given by a member of the curatorial staff. Dinner is served in the candlelit ground floor Library-Dining Room. Mirrors surround the room and reflect the Pompeian red decoration, the Apulian vases, ceiling paintings and other works of art.
Maximum of 30 people: 7pm until 11:30pm
Receptions
