The Speakers Room

Located on the first floor of No.11 Great George Street, the Speakers Room is the largest and most versatile space at Surveyors House. Set within a beautifully preserved period building, the room offers a completely private setting for up to 60 guests, with a fully equipped bar at your disposal and a dedicated event team on hand throughout.

With its sweeping curved staircase, refined period detailing and warm, characterful interiors, this is a space with genuine presence. Flexible enough to accommodate theatre-style presentations, boardroom meetings, banquet dining and standing receptions, it works just as well for a morning away-day as it does for an evening celebration.
