Whitechapel Gallery, founded in 1901, is located in the heart of London’s East End – one of the most diverse and creative quarters in the world.

Located in the heart of London, right next to Aldgate East Underground Station and neighbouring commercial hubs such as Liverpool Street and Shoreditch, Whitechapel Gallery is an ideal venue for private and corporate events.

When you walk through our doors you follow the footsteps of modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Frida Kahlo to pioneering contemporaries such as Zarina Bhimji, Sophie Calle, Theaster Gates, Emily Jacir and Michael Rakowitz, all of whom premiered at the Whitechapel Gallery.

The Gallery houses 3,600 square metres of beautiful, versatile spaces – from airy studios and brick-exposed Galleries to a purpose-built auditorium. Whatever your budget, the experienced and imaginative Whitechapel Gallery Venue Hire team work diligently to deliver your event. Our comprehensive tech packages including CDJ set and sound system would offer you a streamlined production experience.

The Whitechapel Gallery is a registered charity. By choosing the Whitechapel Gallery for your event you are directly supporting the internationally recognised work of the Gallery and helping us to enrich the lives of more people through access to contemporary art.
