Carlton House Terrace
Carlton House Terrace is a Georgian townhouse in Westminster, London, with stucco façades and classical proportions. The Grade I listed building overlooks St James’s Park, Whitehall and The Mall.
The building houses the British Academy and serves as a venue for conferences, meetings, weddings and private dinners. Its rooms support seminars, board meetings, dining and award ceremonies. William Gladstone once lived here as a United Kingdom prime minister. His former residence gives this quiet address near Trafalgar Square a political history.
The venue accommodates intimate gatherings and larger receptions, with licensed wedding ceremonies and seated receptions among its uses. Exclusive hire and food and drink packages support private events. Recreated peacock-feather wallpaper preserves a distinctive detail of the building’s interior design history. Accessibility features include a platform lift, internal lifts, an accessible ground-floor toilet and a quiet room. Induction loops in some rooms support visitors with hearing impairments. The Royal Society also uses the building for events, linking its architectural setting with scientific and cultural life.
