116 Pall Mall

About the venue

Once a regular haunt for the Duke of Wellington, 116 Pall Mall is now the Regency home of the Institute of Directors.

A grand staircase – with viewing balcony – leads into five floors of versatile function rooms: look out for the dual-aspect Waterloo room’s gold-leaf-on-linen wallpaper. The IoD Academy, a newly launched training facility, suits business-first events. The Wine Bar, in the original vaulted cellars, is the place to unwind. 116 Pall Mall also plays host to hundreds of corporate occasions, private events, festive celebrations and weddings every year, bringing a sense of occasion to even the most intimate gatherings. Guests are instantly captivated by the building’s luxurious interiors, complete with magnificent period features alongside its unique heritage and the impeccable service provided by our team. We offer a wide range of versatile and flexible spaces throughout our five floors, welcoming up to 1,500 guests, and our enviably central location makes travel to your event a breeze.
