Trinity House

Height, light and space characterise five rooms, four of them south-facing with Tower and Trinity Square Garden views. The working home of the General Lighthouse Authority, Trinity House is dotted throughout with intriguing maritime artefacts and treasures, including the brass bell from the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Close to the Tower Hill underground, the building stands behind iron railings and cobbled paving, the setting for a segment of the James Bond movie ‘Skyfall’.  (Trinity House has also been the location for other filmed productions including ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’, ‘Johnny English Reborn’, ‘The Professionals’, The Invisible Woman’, and the ‘MasterChef’ TV series).   In addition to the Tower Hill, Aldgate and Fenchurch stations are within easy walking distance and major rail links are a short taxi ride.

The grand Reception Hall leads through to a distinctive twin-curved staircase and stairwell, the location of numerous joyous wedding photographs over the three decades that the event management team has been organising memorable weddings.   The oval-shaped Library is the venue’s most spacious room and features a minstrels’ gallery, impressive crystal chandeliers, fascinating 16th and 17th stained-glass window panels, and a rare collection of maritime silver artefacts. Two break-out rooms offer added flexibility.  The elegant Court room has the feel of a salon in a stately home and features a spectacular allegorical blue trompe l’oeil ceiling, a large and rare single-loom carpet, and working fireplace for winter cosiness.  A breakout room provides added flexibility.

Trinity House offers wheelchair access and is available for hire on an exclusive use basis. Included in the venue hire charges is the use of gold-crested red leather chairs and beautifully polished tables – and even a ceremonial sword for cake-cutting!
