An American customer wants to do an event which is at a 'very English' venue in London.

So .... accessible by public transport, a room at least 7m x 10m, and 'very English'.

So far Lords (the elevated press box area) and Wimbledon (not so good for the public transport) are highly favoured.

Does anyone on the forum have knowledge of anything which would meet these criteria?

many thanks

Or if you want to be really 'English' then there is always a local kebab shop during chucking out time.

Following my chain of thoughts from kebab shops to underage drinking to pubs..........you could actually look at some of the 'old English Gentleman pubs' in the City which tend to hire out their space. To an American, nothing shout 'English' like an old fashioned Victorian public house.

thanks all so far ...
Tower of London is looking good (available etc), Horseguards also looks good but I've not yet investigated it.

Tower Bridge would have been good - but it's a daytime event and they are evening hire only (tourist venue during the day) - another time.

House of Lords - good call, I do know an MP .. I'll make subtle enquiries.

do keep the suggestions coming - much appreciated

many thanks to all.
some great ideas. I've fed back your ideas - they are excited about the Tower and the one near to Horseguards especially. Lords is still in with a shout, but I'm concerned about having to explain cricket to them :).
I have made an enquiry to the only MP I know - that would get them excited too if it transpired.

If only MI5 hired out part of number 1 Millbank - maybe a few operational considerations, but how suave would that be?
