Lambeth Palace

Set on the south bank of the River Thames, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament, Lambeth Palace is one of London’s most historic and prestigious event venues. As the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Palace offers an extraordinary setting for high-level conferences, private dinners, receptions and cultural events within a working historic estate.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens and medieval architecture, Lambeth Palace feels removed from the city while remaining exceptionally central. Its riverside location, centuries of heritage and sense of occasion make it particularly well suited to organisations seeking a venue with gravitas, discretion and international standing.

From formal conferences and lectures to elegant receptions and private dining, Lambeth Palace delivers impact through history rather than scale. The Palace’s principal event spaces are richly detailed and architecturally significant, combining period features with modern event infrastructure to support professional, well-managed events.

The Great Hall is the largest and most impressive space, featuring hammerbeam-style roofing, historic portraits and a flexible layout that works equally well for conferences, seated dinners and receptions. Supporting spaces within the Palace provide additional flexibility for breakout sessions, smaller meetings or private hosting, allowing events to be carefully structured within the wider estate.
