The Priestley Room


Named after Joseph Priestley, a famous historical chemist often credited with the discovery of oxygen, the Priestley Room is set back from the activity of the courtyard.

The quiet, personal environment is emphasised by the stacked bookshelves at either end of the room, and strikes a tone suitable for private board meetings, presentations and small business lunches.

The heritage feel of the room, coupled with the displays of a variety of etchings, also creates a suitable setting for drinks receptions and formal dinners.
