The venue can accommodate various capacities depending on the specific space used. The Gallery can host 180 seated guests, while The Grand Temple offers 450 seated or 280 cabaret style.

The venue works exclusively with Moving Venue, described as London's leading heritage venue caterer and their exclusive catering partner. External caterers are not permitted - all food and beverage must be provided through Moving Venue, who will create tailored proposals based on your event requirements.

Standard access times are 07:00-23:00 (7am-11pm) included in the venue hire. The venue has a license until 2am, and extending beyond 11pm costs £750 per hour. Rig and de-rig days are available at 50% discount on the venue hire rate.

The Grand Temple has no built-in AV equipment, so everything must be brought in externally. The venue maintains a list of recommended suppliers for AV needs. Some spaces like The Gallery may have different AV provisions, but specific technical requirements should be discussed with the venue's recommended suppliers.

The venue does not allow concerts due to licensing terms. Musical theatre productions may be considered differently from concerts, but this requires specific discussion with the venue. The venue is suitable for gala dinners, award ceremonies, corporate events, weddings, and similar formal gatherings.

The venue requires confirmation of specific dates and guest numbers to check availability. Site visits are highly recommended and can be arranged through the sales team. The venue emphasizes that the scale, beauty and atmosphere must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the space.

Christmas events are available, but December dates have limited availability due to the venue's Christmas installation and Christmas run period. The venue offers Christmas party packages and works with Smart Parties for shared Christmas events, but exclusive hire during peak Christmas period may not be available.

The Vestibules work perfectly as a drinks reception area before guests move to The Grand Temple for the main event. Guests enter through the iconic Bronze Tower Doors, check coats in the Grade II listed cloakroom, ascend the marble staircase, and gather in The Vestibules before proceeding to the dining space.

The venue is located moments from Covent Garden and Holborn stations, providing excellent public transport access. Specific parking arrangements are not detailed in the available information, but the central London location near major tube stations suggests limited on-site parking typical of central London venues.
