IIL Gala Dinner 2025

The Insurance Institute of London is delighted to present an exclusive Gala Dinner in the Tower of London!

This black-tie event, hosted by IIL President, Lucy Clarke, will bring the London insurance and financial planning sectors together for a celebratory evening of networking and fine dining in the world-famous, ancient fortress that has watched over and guarded the City of London and the nation for almost 1,000 years. Instantly recognisable, the White Tower is the most famous castle keep in the world – an iconic symbol of London and Britain.

The evening will begin with a private viewing of the Crown Jewels, a world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones that is part of the Royal Collection and features items that are still used in royal ceremonies today. You will then have an opportunity to network with industry colleagues over a champagne reception in the White Tower before taking your seat for a luxury three-course meal in the New Armouries banqueting suite within the most famous castle in the world!
