Covent Garden’s Best Kept Secret

Hidden away within Browns Covent Garden is Browns Court Rooms. This historic two floor event suite can be found on the first floor with grand sweeping staircases & stunning original features. Our building was once The Westminster’s County Courts, now elegantly converted into a bar and restaurant in 1996, we have a fantastic suite of rooms available for private & corporate hire. Within our largest room The Judges Court the original judge’s bench is still in place, and it was from here that convicted defendants were sent down to the detention cells that now serve as our wine cellars.

DO YOUR EVENT JUSTICE –

This is The West End, this is theatre-land: 'The Place Where People Come To Dream…'

The Courtrooms are right in the heart of it all, on St. Martins Lane, close to Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square, we have four fantastic rooms available within our two floor event suite, which would be exclusively yours on your Big Day.

The Judge's Court

This magnificent room, steeped in history, was formerly the main courtroom of Westminster County Court where debtors and bankrupts were tried. The focal point of the room is the original judge’s bench and it was from here that convicted defendants were sent down to the detention cells that now serve as our wine cellars. The Judge’s Court holds a civil wedding licence and can be laid out for almost any occasion from a sit down wedding breakfast for up to 100 guests, in theatre style for up to 150, a canapé reception for 130 or for business meetings.

Barrister's Court

This stunning courtroom once dealt with births, deaths and marriages and it retains many original features including beautiful skylights, chandeliers and the original judge’s bench. It is the second largest of the four rooms at Browns Courtrooms and can seat up to 48 diners or 70 people for drinks and canapés.

Judge's Chamber

The Judge’s Chamber offers a more informal style than the main Courtrooms. The Judge’s Chamber can be hired individually or joined up with the adjoining Study. It can be arranged to suit almost any occasion from a dinner for 40 guests or canapé reception for up to 70 to a business meeting for 20 or a theatre-style presentation for 50 people.

The Study

The smallest of our private rooms, The Study is an ideal venue for a small dinner party or private meeting. It can be hired on its own or combined with the adjoining Judge’s Chambers.
