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, client presentations and away days are accommodated in the four meeting spaces. Including a fully equipped cinema, modern conference room and our two Georgian-inspired boardrooms, both of which look out on views of the parkland that surrounds the Museum and host paintings from the Museum Collections on the walls.

The dramatic glass-roofed main Atrium and its surrounding balconies play host to client receptions, charity balls and award dinners, film premieres, fashion shows, and product launches. It is one of the only spaces in London able to accommodate 1,000 guests for a reception, 350 for dinner and 300 for a dinner dance.

Throughout the night, guests can mingle around the exhibits in the Atrium, including a rare Battle of Britain Spitfire; Montgomery's tank; the smallest civilian boat used at Dunkirk; and 'Ole Bill', a 1911 London bus that once transported troops on the Western Front before returning back to service on the London roads.

The Museum's temporary exhibitions and award-winning permanent galleries add a fascinating element to any event, providing guests and delegates with a focal point at a reception to content for teambuilding exercises.
