National Gallery

Where creativity is found, connections are made and inspiration is at every corner.

Host your event in one of the greatest art galleries in the world.

Bringing people and paintings together, the National Gallery houses over 2,600 works, including many famous paintings, such as van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus, Turner’s Fighting Temeraire and Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. All major traditions of Western European painting are presented, from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.

Supporters’ House

Available to both House Members and the public, the room accommodates up to 12 guests and is ideal for celebratory dinners, birthdays and seasonal gatherings. Guests can enjoy a carefully curated set menu, with optional wine pairings designed to elevate each course.

Supporters’ House is an exclusive sanctuary within the National Gallery, reserved for House Members, Corporate Supporters, Patrons and Donors, and accessed via a discreet private entrance on Trafalgar Square.

At its heart lies the Private Dining Room: an intimate, atmospheric space wrapped in warm copper tones, inspired by Turner’s love of luminous sunsets. Elegant yet understated, it offers a sense of quiet luxury above the bustle of London.

Locatelli – Whitcomb Room

Just seconds away from the rhythm of the Sainsbury’s wing mezzanine, there is a space that feels quietly removed from everything, as if time slows the moment you step inside. This is Locatelli’s private dining room: a warm setting where long lunches stretch effortlessly into the afternoon, and dinners unfold with a sense of occasion. The simplicity of a beautifully laid table, the hum of the kitchen just out of sight: it’s intimate, but never formal. Designed for up to 24 guests, the room is as suited to celebratory feasts as it is to thoughtful gatherings and discreet meetings, with a screen available when needed. Here, Locatelli’s menus are served generously and seasonally. Open to all, the space is available for lunch and dinner, with evening bookings offered on Fridays and Saturdays.
