About the space
What if your next big idea unfolded in a venue where architecture speaks louder than words? This monumental Brutalist landmark pairs geometric grandeur with intimate warmth. Defined by bold concrete forms softened by honey-toned wood panelling and rich acoustic detailing, the venue's main auditorium is an awe-inspiring space purpose-built for scale and clarity. Every tier of tiered seating is designed to offer uninterrupted views, enhancing engagement and focus for large-scale presentations.
Located in the cultural heart of London, this architectural icon sits close to key transport links and renowned city landmarks. The venue’s contemporary Brutalist style—defined by sculptural volumes, exposed materials and angular lines—brings drama and sophistication to any event. A masterclass in immersive design, it is perfectly suited to major conferences, product launches, press events, and award ceremonies.
The main auditorium accommodates up to 1,000 guests in theatre-style seating, with configurations available for standing receptions (650), seated dinners (220), classrooms (100), U-shape sessions (32), or boardroom meetings (20). Additional breakout spaces and event halls provide further flexibility for multi-track conferences or exhibitions.
