195 Piccadilly, BAFTA

Home of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Voted Number One venue by Events Magazine readers 2009!

195 Piccadilly, home to BAFTA and renowned for its starry international visitors, provides a glamorous central London venue with exclusive business and entertaining facilities for private and corporate functions across four stunning private event spaces.

Accommodating up to 200 guests seated, The David Lean Room and Foyer Bar boast 5,000 square feet of exhibition space. The Princess Anne Theatre, a fully refurbished purpose built auditorium seating 227, provides a luxurious atmosphere for audiovisual presentations or screenings, including 3D. For smaller events, the Gallery is a private space seating up to 25. The adjacent, "state of the art", Run Run Shaw Theatre seats up to 40 and complements The Gallery by providing the best technical projection and technical facilities available in London.

To complement the facilities, 195 Piccadilly offers first class in-house catering to suit all client requirements, from a gourmet dinner to inventive canapes, to food specially created to match individually chosen themes.

Set within an enviable location in the heart of London's West End, the building itself was originally built in 1831 and subsequently housed the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. The discrete street frontage of the building conceals the extensive suite of elegant rooms for entertaining housed within 195 Piccadilly and assures that guests can relax behind closed doors in the same way as Academy members do.
