Private dining, corporate gatherings, weddings, receptions, and occasions that deserve a room with a hundred and fifty years of good conversation in the walls.
The Thames Club is not a hotel ballroom. It is a house — with a library, a formal dining room, a hunt room with fireplaces, and a distinctive basement pub with two duckpin lanes. Each space brings something a generic venue cannot.
The Club's primary gathering space. Formal meals, receptions, and private dinners for up to 60 guests. Fireplace, full dining service, and a room that has hosted New London's civic and social life for over a century.
| Seated dinner | Up to 60 |
| Reception / standing | Up to 90 |
| Full dining service | Available |
Floor-to-ceiling shelves, a fireplace, and the kind of quiet that makes conversations worth having. Ideal for smaller gatherings — board dinners, cocktail receptions, literary events, and intimate occasions.

| Reception / standing | Up to 35 |
| Bar support | Available |
Wing chairs, afternoon light, and a fireplace that has warmed members since 1905. Used for pre-dinner cocktails, smaller meetings, and gatherings that want a sense of the house at its most private.
| Cocktail reception | Up to 25 |
| Pre-dinner gathering | Ideal |
The silhouette wall, stone fireplace, red leather chairs, and two working duckpin bowling lanes. The most distinctive event space in New London — and arguably Connecticut. Nothing else like it.

| Bar service | Available |
