About Supporters' House
Supporters’ House has been created from our former Curatorial offices on the ground floor of the Wilkins’ Building, which faces onto Trafalgar Square with its own dedicated entrance. High windows offer views of Nelson’s Column and the fourth plinth against a backdrop of trees and sky, much like the landscape paintings found in the Gallery’s collection. Yet Supporters’ House itself is secluded – an oasis of calm in the city. The plan was designed by New York-based architect Annabelle Selldorf, working with Purcell Architects, with interiors by Studio Linse.
Supporters' House is open to House Members, Corporate Supporters, National Gallery Patrons and Donors. Reservations for breakfasts, lunchtimes and Friday evenings in the Dining Room are now open. All other spaces are available on a walk-in basis.
Reservations for the Dining Room can be made here.
