London's hidden haven
Through the bustle of Trafalgar Square is a private doorway to Supporters’ House, London’s most exclusive address. A hidden haven amid one of the world’s greatest art collections, with space to wine, dine and socialise or to just pause and reflect.
Steeped in history
Open old doors to new spaces. Beautifully redesigned, every detail reflects the Gallery’s heritage. High windows, natural light and sumptuous textures inspired by the paintings create a space that feels both refined and relaxed.
Art, insight and connection
The Salon is a quietly cosy space by day that transforms into a hub of inspiration, alive with events. Bring guests and enjoy conversations with curators, talks by authors and creative workshops.
