Surveyors House is available for exclusive hire, giving you full, private use of a magnificent Victorian building in the heart of Westminster. From the grand Lecture Hall and Council Chamber to the Roof Terrace overlooking Parliament Square and Big Ben, every space becomes yours for the duration of your event.
Located at 12 Great George Street, with Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey as your backdrop, Surveyors House offers a self-contained setting suited to a wide range of occasions: conferences, AGMs, product launches, award ceremonies, private dining, weddings and seasonal celebrations.
When you hire Surveyors House exclusively, your event is the only event. Every entrance, corridor, staircase and room becomes part of your guests’ experience, tailored and hosted entirely around you.
Surveyors House pairs historic architecture with contemporary capability. Beyond the marbled reception, mosaic-tiled lobby and listed gold lift, the building’s spaces can be configured for presentations, hybrid meetings, exhibitions, dining, receptions and evening celebrations.
State-of-the-art AV, high-speed connectivity and on-site technical support are available throughout, whether you are launching a product, hosting a live stream or running parallel breakout sessions.
Every exclusive hire benefits from a dedicated events team who will help you shape the flow of your day, from arrival and registration through to final farewells, making the most of each room and space along the way.
Exclusive hire of Surveyors House gives you access to all eight spaces within the building, allowing you to create a complete, connected experience for your guests across one address.
The natural home for keynotes, AGMs, panel discussions and screenings. The Lecture Hall offers a heritage backdrop for high-profile content, with integrated AV and flexible layouts for theatre, classroom or cabaret-style seating.
A distinguished setting suited to board meetings, round-table discussions, press briefings and private ceremonies. Its character and proportions lend themselves to more intimate yet high-impact sessions.
The only private outdoor terrace overlooking Parliament Square. Set on the fifth floor, the Roof Terrace is ideal for welcome drinks, receptions, networking and summer parties, all framed by some of London’s most recognisable landmarks.
A refined private dining room suited to hosted lunches, tasting menus, VIP entertaining and smaller celebrations. Within a full exclusive hire, it can also serve as a green room or dedicated space for key speakers and sponsors.
Taken together, these rooms allow you to programme an entire event within one building. Plenary sessions, breakouts, catering, networking and evening hospitality. Without ever leaving Surveyors House.
Exclusive hire includes all four named meeting rooms: the Brussels, Dubai, Hong Kong and New York. Each offers a self-contained, well-equipped space suited to breakout sessions, workshops, interviews, hybrid meetings and production use. Together they give you the flexibility to run parallel formats, accommodate different group sizes and keep every part of your programme within the building.
A flexible, modern space ideal for smaller breakout sessions, focused workshops or private interviews. Configured to suit your brief, it keeps conversations close knit and productive.
Perfect for strategy sessions, partner meetings or press briefings, this room offers a comfortable, self contained setting with everything you need for a polished discussion.
Well suited to hybrid meetings, virtual speaker prep or production use, this room can act as a control hub, green room or quiet project space alongside your main programme.
A versatile suite that works equally well as a breakout room, workshop space or calm area for calls and one‑to‑one meetings, helping parallel sessions run smoothly throughout the day.
Exclusive hire of Surveyors House works particularly well when you want focus, privacy and a fully branded environment across an iconic Westminster address.
Conferences, meetings & AGMs Host your plenary in the Lecture Hall, run breakouts in the named meeting rooms and use the Council Chamber for confidential board level conversations. Circulation spaces and the Roof Terrace create natural networking and exhibition areas between sessions.
Award ceremonies & product launches Create a sense of occasion with arrivals through the marbled reception and lobby, a fully dressed Lecture Hall for your main presentation, and a celebratory reception that moves onto the terrace or into the dining spaces.
Private dining & receptions Combine the President’s Dining Room with neighbouring rooms to offer pre dinner drinks, multi course dining and post dinner networking, with the option to extend onto the terrace in warmer months.
Weddings & special occasions Celebrate in the heart of Westminster with ceremony, drinks, wedding breakfast and evening party all under one roof. Exclusive hire ensures your day feels truly yours, with each room playing a different role in the celebration.
Summer and Christmas parties From rooftop cocktails and canapés on long summer evenings to festive gatherings and end‑of‑year celebrations, a full takeover gives you the freedom to create distinct zones for entertainment, food, drink and dancing.
