The space
The old durbar room, with a mirror-work ceiling that was cleaned rather than restored — the gaps are where the glass was lost, and we left them. One table of twenty-four, or a boardroom of eighteen. Air-conditioned, screened, and the quietest room in the house.
Worth knowing
Air-conditioned. Screen, projector and conference telephone are included in the hire.
