Imperial War Museum

A well located historic backdrop for any event

Situated in Zone One and with good transport links to London and the South East, this Grade II listed building, formerly the site of Bedlam, provides a stunning backdrop to all variety of events.

Daytime meetings, conferences and away days can be accommodated in the four meeting spaces, which include a fully equipped 200 seater cinema, a conference room and two more traditionally decorated boardrooms which look out onto the parks. All four spaces are equipped with wifi and presentation AV facilities.

The versatile main atrium plays host to receptions, balls and dinner dances, film premieres, fashion shows and product launches. The exhibits in this gallery include a rare and unique Battle of Britain Spitfire; Montgomery's tank; a Second World War North American P51 Mustang suspended from the roof; and 'Old Bill', a London bus that once transported troops on the Western Front during the First World War. These exhibits create a breathtaking welcome for guests as well as talking points throughout an event. This is one of the only spaces in London with the capacity to accommodate up to 1,000 guests for receptions and 400 for dinner.

The Museum's striking temporary exhibitions and award-winning permanent displays can add fascinating elements for both day and evening events with private tours of galleries, team building tasks and styling.
