The Graham Greene Room:

Greene spent much of his life in the South of France but chose to spend his birthdays in the quintessentially British surroundings of Rules which features in several of his novels. Letters from Greene to his sister Elizabeth are displayed on the walls of the Graham Greene Room which seats up to 18 for dinner and 25 for receptions and buffets. The room also provides ample space for drinks before dining.

The John Betjeman Room:

At the GLC Public Inquiry in 1971, when Rules was threatened by a demolition order included in the development of Covent Garden, John Betjeman spoke eloquently to help save the historic restaurant and the memorabilia on display here includes the transcript of his evidence.

This charming and intimate room seats up to 8 for dining and meetings.
