ALEX FITCH ROOM

A distinguished private dining room situated in the War Memorial Building.

Alex Fitch Room

Featuring Elizabethan panelling and period character, the Alex Fitch Room offers an atmosphere of heritage and discretion for executive dinners, VIP meetings and celebratory occasions.

The room is named after Alex Fitch, a former Harrow School pupil who, at the age of 19, became one of 644 Old Harrovians to lose their life in the Great War.

When Alex Fitch was killed in northern France in September 1918, his parents were determined that their only son would be remembered, and they donated the beautiful contents of the Alex Fitch Room to the School in his memory. Above the fireplace, a light has shone on his portrait night and day for nearly 100 years.

Highlights

• Historic oak panelling and architectural detail
• Exclusive and private setting for confidential gatherings
• Exceptional historical environment

Key Information

LAYOUT

The venue includes a large, solid dining table placed in the centre of the room. This seats up to 20 guests on the existing antique wooden chairs. Due to its age, all furniture currently in the Alex Fitch Room must stay in position for events.

AV CAPABILITIES

The Alex Fitch Room has a beautiful chandelier but no other lighting, and no direct power supply. We suggest you use external suppliers or battery-powered candles to bring your event to life. Please discuss your requirements with a member of the events team who can advise you.
