Located on Tower Hill with exceptional views of the Tower of London, the maritime Georgian gem that is Trinity House is conveniently located a short walk from the Tower Hill underground station with limited private parking on the cobbled paved forecourt behind iron railings. The venue overlooks Trinity Square Gardens and has, as its immediate neighbour, the five-star Four Seasons 10 Trinity Square Hotel. In addition to Tower Hill station on its front doorstep, the Aldgate and Monument stations are within easy walking distance and major rail links are a short taxi ride. London City Airport is approximately five miles away and a 20-minute drive.
Behind the building’s imposing neo-classical façade, designed by Samuel Wyatt in 1794, are five elegant rooms – The Library, Court Room, Pepys Room, Luncheon Room and Reading Room – four of which are south-facing offering height, natural light and Tower views. The venue’s grand Reception Hall leads through to a distinctive twin-curved staircase and upstairs the Quarterdeck first floor corridor which showcases remarkable maritime artefacts – including the bell from the Royal Yacht Britannia – that bear testament to the prominent role played by Trinity House in the nation’s history.
The oval-shaped Library is the venue’s most spacious room seating up to 130 (200 standing) and features two stunning chandeliers, a minstrels’ gallery and beautiful 16th and 17th stained glass windows. The room houses a fascinating collection of rare silverware and its elegant proportions and dramatic views of the Tower of London make it a uniquely English setting for film and TV productions. Accommodating up to 130 standing and 80 seated, the south-facing Court Room is suffused with natural light from three large windows and features a large single-loom carpet with the arms of Trinity House, life-size paintings of illustrious benefactors, a working fireplace, and a dramatic nautical trompe l’oeil painted ceiling.
The history of the House, built in 1794, is omnipresent throughout the building with valuable paintings and antiques showcasing the nation’s remarkable nautical heritage. Trinity House is the working home of the General Lighthouse Authority (GLA) for England and Wales and is also a major maritime charity.
