The high beam ceilings and detail will give your party a sense of enchantment they can’t find anywhere else. Being at the centre of the Tudor Palace, your Guests will get to witness the same intricate Gothic architecture as Henry VIII, for a dinner party they will never forget. 

3. White Tower, Tower of London
