The English Room is a space inspired by the architecture of the House of Commons. It is in a revivalist Tudor-Gothic style, with many relics collected from the WW2 wreckage of the Parliament buildings. Stained glass windows show the crests of famous people, such as William Penn and William Pitt, as well as seals of some English cities.

Pitt is shown in a portrait in the rear wall, above a brick from 10 Downing Street, underscoring the aspect of English nationality illustrated by the government that binds it together.
