London's
most magnificent private palace
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.
