Spectacular evening with the New College Society

The New College Society was delighted to welcome back New College Old Members to a London Dinner which took place last Friday evening (30 September 2022) at One Whitehall Place, London.

This event, which normally takes place every two to three years, was the the Society’s first London dinner for four years since it was last held at Lincoln’s Inn, with COVID-19 having intervened in between. It provided a wonderful opportunity for Old Members to catch up with old friends and contemporaries.

The venue is an historic Grade I listed building, designed in the style of a Grand French Chateau, and renowned for its solid Sicilian marble central staircase, believed to be the largest of its kind in Europe.

The evening started with a drinks reception in the Reading and Writing Room at 6.30pm, followed by dinner in the Gladstone Library at 7.15pm. After dinner, Old Members entertained by a New College Jazz Band, the Green Bean Machine, until midnight.
