The Drawing Room

The Drawing Room is the most elaborately decorated space at Surveyors House, with deep navy walls, rich furnishings and original architectural drawings of the Houses of Parliament creating an atmosphere that feels both cosy and contemporary. Large windows face out onto Great George Street, flooding the room with natural light during the day, while come evening it transforms into something altogether more intimate and atmospheric.

Designed around an L-shaped banquette layout, the room seats up to 26 guests for dinner and accommodates up to 30 for a standing reception, making it an ideal choice for private dining, celebrations, and relaxed corporate entertaining.

Our chefs craft seasonal menus using the finest local ingredients, creating exceptional dishes to suit both formal seated meals and more informal occasions. Attentive service and a thoughtfully curated wine and beverage selection further enhance the experience.

With flexible layouts accommodating up to 26 guests, the Drawing Room provides an exclusive and personal setting, where every detail is carefully considered.
