Our prestigious Nash and Brandon Rooms have spectacular views of the Mall, Big Ben and the London Eye
On the first floor of the ICA, these Grade 1 listed rooms hold original cornicing and features by their architect John Nash that work well in contrast to the contemporary design of the gallery spaces.
These beautiful rooms are Regency in style with elegant and timeless features. Both of these open to reveal a small Ante room joining the two together which extended from a grand stair case and their own private entrance.
The Nash & Brandon Rooms are used regularly for private parties, weddings and civil ceremonies, product launches and day meetings but have versatility for any event.
The space features an advanced hanging system, perfect for exhibiting company branding, product images or artistic imagery. Further production of the space can be arranged through our preferred suppliers.
