The experience of the space

Soft furnishings and flexible layouts contribute to a warm and comfortable atmosphere, giving the space a more relaxed feel while still maintaining a sense of formality appropriate for professional and social occasions.

The Drawing Room is well suited to breakfast meetings, smaller presentations and private dining events, offering a setting that feels both informal and considered.

What are people saying about The Inner Temple

“The Drawing Room at The Honourable Society of The Inner Temple was recommended to me by an industry colleague for a company drinks reception in the City of London. Based purely on this personal recommendation I decided on this venue, and I was so happy that I did. The event could not have gone more perfectly and nearly every one of our guests remarked on how unusual and elegant the venue was. The service was second to none and the food was delicious. A little hidden gem of a venue in the heart of the city!”

- FACT UK

“Thank you for making everything run so smoothly for the inaugural McDonald Agape Lecture in Theology and the Visual Arts and the book launch for Theology, Modernity, and the Visual Arts. The venue was ideal for us, combining the lecture hall, reception space, and drawing room for the speakers' dinner, and your staff were very friendly and professional. We look forward to returning.”

- Centre for Arts and the Sacred, King's College London

The Drawing Room forms part of a suite of classic first floor event spaces, each offering a distinct setting for meetings, dining and receptions.

While it works well as a standalone space for smaller gatherings, it can also be incorporated into larger event programmes across the estate, allowing organisers to create a natural flow between rooms throughout the occasion.
