Whether you’re organising a memorable presentation, company conference, catch-up meeting or networking event, the right venue matters as much as the occasion. A distinctive setting can inspire guests and make a lasting impression.
Unique Venues of London offers everything from dramatic triple-height atriums and immersive 4K projection spaces to historic great halls and characterful meeting rooms, even a venue with a historic ship suspended above your delegates. Your event will give guests far more than business to talk about.

Back to business, but not the usual meeting room
As teams return from the summer break, the Design Museum offers a setting designed to get people thinking differently. Beneath its distinctive hyperbolic paraboloid roof, meetings and conferences take on a new perspective, with spaces that bring together striking design, natural light and a sense of occasion.
From the dramatic triple-height Atrium to the impressive Bakala Auditorium, the Museum offers versatile spaces for everything from presentations and conferences to meetings, talks and networking events.
And when it’s time to step away from the agenda, guests can explore the Museum’s inspiring surroundings, alongside its programme of exciting exhibitions, creating plenty of opportunities for conversations to continue beyond the meeting itself.
Sometimes, a change of scenery can change the conversation.
