Two Temple Place

Two Temple Place is a dazzling neo-Tudor gem with an array of whimsical and Gothic elements on Victoria Embankment, commissioned by and built for William Waldorf Astor in the 1890s. Two Temple Place is owned by the registered charity The Bulldog Trust.

We host a busy year-round programme of community and cultural activity – including a major exhibition – with the aim of offering opportunities to a wide range of people and sharing our building as a tool for conversation, education and advocacy. Find out about our programme in our Cultural & Community Report. As a charity, the building also generates income through fundraising and commercial hires.

The Bulldog Trust’s Purpose is the creation of opportunities for those who lack them. We do this by working with groups already engaged in similar efforts where we can enhance their impact. The Bulldog Trust helps to provide both first and second chances.

The Trust makes these things possible with our partners by hosting, connecting, educating, advocating and exhibiting. We believe that creativity and culture can be powerful forces for making both stronger communities and positive social change and that Two Temple Place is a powerful tool to those ends. Our cultural activity is part of our wider opportunity and education agenda and always has a clear connection to our goals. Two Temple Place as an events venue and film location is also what makes our charitable work possible. We make the most of Two Temple Place and its capacity as a venue to make events feel special, for our community, cultural, educational and commercial work.

Two Temple Place is a fantasy made real in the finest materials by exceptional makers. Its very fabric is full of stories and the Bulldog Trust adds to those with every community programme and exhibition.
