St Paul’s Cathedral

Beneath the iconic dome of St Paul’s lies the largest crypt in Europe—an awe-inspiring space steeped in history and reverence. The final resting place of national luminaries including Sir Christopher Wren, Admiral Lord Nelson, and the Duke of Wellington, the Crypt offers a truly unique and distinguished setting for events that seek both grandeur and gravitas.

The Western end of the Crypt provides a stunning blank canvas for a variety of occasions—from elegant canapé receptions and bowl food gatherings to formal gala dinners, award ceremonies, and presentations. Accessed through the Churchill Gates and Nelson’s Chamber, this remarkable space invites guests to experience the legacy of Britain’s greats in an atmosphere of timeless dignity.

Nestled in the heart of St Paul’s Cathedral’s crypt, the Nelson Chamber is a striking rotunda space centred around the tomb of Admiral Lord Nelson—its proud and poignant focal point. With its intricate mosaic-tiled floor and breathtaking vaulted ceiling, this elegant chamber offers a setting of quiet majesty and timeless significance.

Positioned directly beneath the Cathedral’s iconic Dome, the Nelson Chamber is perfect for pre-dinner drinks, intimate receptions, or private dinners. Framed by the Churchill Gates and the Duke of Wellington memorial, it provides a truly atmospheric backdrop for gatherings that seek both beauty and meaning.

The Wren Suite at St Paul’s Cathedral is a captivating blend of architectural heritage and contemporary functionality. Featuring some of the oldest and most beautiful elements in the Cathedral—including vaulted ceilings and sooted stone from the Great Fire of London—it embodies the enduring legacy of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. Recycled stone from the Medieval Cathedral adds further depth and character to this remarkable space.

Equipped with 21st-century technology, including a built-in projector, screen, and PA system, the Wren Suite is perfectly suited for elegant dinners, intimate wedding receptions, and family christenings. Adjacent to the main suite is the Beehive—a charming, intimate room ideal for drinks, breakout sessions, or buffet-style gatherings

Nestled beside the Cathedral, the Chapter House offers two refined spaces for fine dining, exclusive drinks receptions, and private family gatherings—all with glorious views of St Paul’s and its iconic Dome. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and his son in 1715, this elegant Queen Anne-style red brick building is steeped in architectural charm and historic significance.

Inside, the rooms have been lovingly restored to their original splendour, featuring wood-panelled walls, glittering chandeliers, and portraits of the many figures who have shaped the Cathedral’s rich history. Fully accessible with lift access and modern facilities, the Chapter House combines timeless character with contemporary comfort—making it a distinguished setting for memorable occasions

The site of the General Assembly since 1236, the North and South churchyards provide a private secluded garden for entertaining in the shadow of Wren’s breathtaking architecture.
Entry to the gardens is via the Cathedral Floor and South Transept, through the rose garden gate in the shade of many interesting trees.

BBQs, food stations, bars and canapé receptions can be arranged as guests mingle among the blooming roses and trailing wisteria. The restored railings of the churchyards are important early examples of cast ironwork, and on the North Side you can find some of the oldest trees in London.
