Hidden within the grand facade of Somerset House lies one of London’s most impressive architectural spaces, The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court. Framed on all sides by sweeping neoclassical wings, this vast courtyard sits at the heart of a Grade I-listed cultural landmark, offering a rare sense of scale, symmetry, and spectacle.
At its centre, 55 dancing fountains bring movement and theatre to the stone setting, while the surrounding
architecture creates a dramatic sense of enclosure, at once, intimate and monumental. The buildings themselves are rich in history, with elevations that catch the light beautifully, and elegant detailing that nods to centuries of craftsmanship.
Centrally located between The Strand and the Thames, Somerset House is a London icon — recognisable, prestigious and deeply woven into the fabric of the city’s cultural and creative life. The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court is its crown jewel: timeless, atmospheric and unlike anywhere else.
