“The reading room is the smallest of the rooms at Trinity House, although intimate and charming, it has no less character than the house’s larger rooms. On display is a Victoria Cross and other military medals and a candle from John Smeaton’s Eddystone Lighthouse of 1759. As inspiration for successful negotiations, a portrait of Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt at the signing of the Atlantic agreement presides over Reading Room meetings. Meetings and intimate lunches: The Reading Room is a pleasantly intimate space that lends itself to small board meetings, dinners and lunches. Connected by wide, double doors to the library, it can also serve as a reception room for a larger event.” *
