A Historic Networking and Drinks Reception Venue
The Council Room offers a stunning and historic setting for your next drinks reception, large meeting, exhibition, or networking space for up to 140 guests. Rich wood panelling, carved pilasters, and a beautiful glass-domed ceiling create a unique and memorable atmosphere for both formal and social events.
Built in 1922 by architect Sir Edwin Cooper, the room was originally a dining area in an 18th-century townhouse. The ceiling’s ornate medallions feature busts of Florence Nightingale, Edith Cavell, and the Cowdrays. These details add character and a strong sense of history to the venue.

A Timeless Setting for Networking, Drinks Reception, and Events
Natural daylight floods the room through the glass dome, making it bright and welcoming. Because of this, it’s a popular choice for evening drinks receptions. It also works perfectly as a networking space when paired with events in the adjoining Cowdray Hall.
Beyond receptions, the Council Room handles event registration, catering, and exhibition overflow with ease. Its flexibility allows you to tailor the space to your event’s needs.
Located at 20 Cavendish Square, the Council Room sits in the heart of Central London’s W1 district. It’s just a short walk from Harley Street and Oxford Circus. This venue combines heritage, style, and convenience — perfect for hosting your next event.
