Admiralty House
Plan your event
A Grade I Georgian House on Whitehall
Home to the First Lords of the Admiralty for almost two centuries, beside Horse Guards Parade.
Admiralty House was built in 1786–88 to designs by Samuel Pepys Cockerell, and for nearly 200 years it was the official residence of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Winston Churchill lived here twice, and today the house holds government function rooms and ministerial flats, with its rear façade looking onto Horse Guards Parade.
Inside, a vaulted entrance hall leads to a stone staircase lit by an oval glass dome, and the principal rooms keep chimneypieces dating from around 1721. It suits corporate events, receptions and dinners where a sense of history matters, and our team plans the menu and service to match the setting.
