/ About
The Tower of London is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the north bank of the Thames, founded by William the Conqueror in the 1070s and home to the Crown Jewels. Its private-hire programme, run by Historic Royal Palaces, opens the fortress's most storied buildings for evening dinners, receptions and productions once the site has closed to the public.
The New Armouries banqueting suite seats up to 240 beneath original timber ceiling joists, and pairs with the adjacent White Tower and the Medieval Palace, a private viewing of the Crown Jewels among the options. For events at scale, the Pavilion, a fully produced marquee raised in the northern moat each summer and Christmas, takes up to 700 for dinner and 1,200 for a reception. The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers building keeps its officers' mess and regimental silver for smaller formal dinners.
Access is after-hours, catering runs through an approved supplier list, and the spaces are neutral canvases that carry a thousand years of history without dressing. It is one of the few addresses in London where guests dine inside a working royal fortress.
