When selecting a conference venue, event professionals are looking for more than just capacity and location. Today's corporate event organisers need flexible spaces, seamless production, exceptional hospitality and a setting that reflects the calibre of their organisation.

At 116 Pall Mall, we bring all of these elements together. Situated in the heart of Central London, our Grade I listed venue combines historic architecture with modern conference facilities, making it one of the capital's most distinguished destinations for corporate conferences, leadership forums, annual meetings and industry events.

Whether you're planning a large-scale conference, an executive gathering or a seasonal business event, our versatile spaces are designed to support a range of event objectives while delivering an exceptional delegate experience.

Nash, Waterloo and St James Rooms: A Proven Conference Combination

For conference organisers seeking a professional and highly functional event layout, the Nash Room, Waterloo Room and St James Rooms offer one of the most effective conference solutions at 116 Pall Mall.

The Nash Room is one of our largest and most versatile conference spaces, accommodating up to 350 delegates theatre-style, 184 cabaret or 90 boardroom. Filled with natural daylight and featuring elegant period architecture, it provides an impressive setting for keynote presentations, panel discussions, company conferences and thought leadership events.

Adjacent to the Nash, the Waterloo Room accommodates up to 120 delegates theatre-style, 56 cabaret or 160 guests for a reception, making it ideal for registration, networking, catering breaks, sponsor exhibitions or breakout sessions.

To further enhance large-scale conferences, St James 1 and St James 2 provide valuable additional space for catering, networking and sponsor activations. These flexible rooms create a dedicated area where delegates can connect between sessions while giving sponsors and exhibitors greater visibility. For organisers looking to create a seamless delegate journey, the St James Rooms are a popular addition to the Nash and Waterloo Rooms, helping to separate conference content from networking and exhibition activity.

Together, the Nash, Waterloo and St James Rooms create a smooth flow throughout the event, allowing delegates to move effortlessly between presentations, refreshments, networking opportunities and sponsor engagement.

This popular conference bundle is particularly well suited to:

Annual conferences
Leadership summits
Industry forums
Association events
Corporate presentations
Financial and professional services events

For organisations looking for a prestigious conference venue in Central London, the Nash, Waterloo and St James Rooms provide the scale, flexibility and professional environment required for successful business events.

Burton and Trafalgar Rooms: Ideal for Smaller Conferences, Leadership Events and Breakout Spaces

Not every conference requires a large plenary space. For organisations hosting focused business events, executive meetings or smaller-scale conferences, the Burton and Trafalgar Rooms offer an excellent solution.

Located within a more private area of the venue, these rooms provide an exclusive setting that is particularly well suited to confidential discussions, senior leadership meetings and client-facing events. The added privacy allows organisers to create a dedicated event environment away from larger venue activity, helping delegates remain focused and engaged throughout the day.

The Burton Room accommodates up to 140 delegates theatre-style, 72 cabaret or 40 boardroom, creating an environment that encourages engagement, discussion and collaboration. Its elegant Georgian interiors combine the character of a historic venue with the practical requirements of a modern conference space.

Complementing the Burton Room, the adjoining Trafalgar Rooms can be used for catering, networking, registration or breakout sessions, helping event organisers create a complete conference experience within a dedicated area of the venue.

Exclusive 2nd Floor Hire: Designed for Large Conferences with Multiple Breakout Spaces

For larger conferences requiring multiple content streams, workshops and breakout sessions, exclusive hire of the second floor provides an exceptional solution.

Combining the Nash Room, Waterloo Room, St James 1 & 2, Burton Room and Trafalgar Rooms, organisers can create a dedicated conference environment within a private area of the venue. This flexible layout allows delegates to move seamlessly between plenary sessions, breakout discussions, networking areas and catering spaces without disruption.

The second-floor configuration is particularly effective for:

Multi-stream conferences
Association and membership events
Leadership summits
Training and development programmes
Conferences requiring concurrent breakout sessions
Sponsor and exhibitor-led content hubs

By separating keynote presentations, breakout workshops and networking activity across multiple rooms, organisers can deliver a more engaging and dynamic delegate experience while maintaining a clear and logical event flow.

For organisations seeking a conference venue in Central London that can support both large audiences and complex event formats, exclusive second-floor hire offers a highly adaptable solution.

Carlton Room and Terrace: The Perfect Summer Conference Setting

For organisations planning events during the warmer months, the Carlton Room and Terrace offers one of the most distinctive conference settings in Central London.

The Carlton Room accommodates up to 220 delegates theatre-style, 144 cabaret or 80 boardroom, making it well suited to conferences, presentations and executive gatherings. Rich in character and original features, the space provides an impressive backdrop for both delegates and clients.
