IWM. The Harmsworth Room
About the space
This remarkable event venue, set in the heart of Westminster, boasts a preserved wartime aesthetic, seamlessly blending industrial architecture with vintage military decor. This room retains its original 1940s infrastructure, featuring striking exposed steel beams, riveted iron supports, and an electrifying blacked-out generator wall adorned with switches, dials, and glowing indicator lights—a dramatic and immersive setting unlike any other in London.
The warm, low lighting highlights the room’s historical details while setting an intimate tone, and the wooden flooring adds a touch of warmth to the otherwise raw, industrial appeal. Guests can enjoy a rare opportunity to host an event in a location of historical significance, as this space once served as the strategic nerve centre where Winston Churchill and his wartime cabinet made pivotal decisions.
This event space is ideal for small conferences, standing receptions, and intimate banquets, providing a uniquely immersive experience for corporate guests. Its museum-like charm and modern amenities make it an exceptional choice for corporate networking, product launches, and leadership meetings. The ability to explore adjacent war rooms and a dedicated museum adds an exclusive edge to any event, offering guests a rare glimpse into Britain's wartime past.
