London's most magnificent private palace

Click here for a larger version Spencer House was built in 1756-66 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales (1961-97). Situated in the heart of St James's, Spencer House is a short distance from St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster, and has a splendid terrace and restored, half acre garden with magnificent views of The Green Park.

Spencer House, one of the most beautiful and stunning settings in London, is available for your exclusive use.

The state rooms, have been restored to the former splendour of their late eighteenth-century appearance and are decorated with distinguished paintings and furniture. This provides a magnificent setting for private and corporate events, receptions, civil weddings, recitals, meetings and presentations. Charitable events are welcomed at Spencer House.

Spencer House has an in-house team who are dedicated to planning and executing your event. The Head Chef will create a seasonal menu to suit your individual requirements. The Head Butler will be happy to advise on wines from our cellar.

We are able to provide a full bespoke service to include printing and calligraphy. Working alongside carefully selected suppliers, Spencer House Events are happy to arrange flowers, entertainment, additional lighting, marquees and fireworks.

The Facilty Fee for the exclusive hire of the House is based on the size and scale of each individual event and includes our own full event management. Menu prices are inclusive of Butler service, fine china, silver, linen, glassware and furniture.
