Hire the perfect unique conference centre in London

Nestled within the ancient Inns of Court, this Elizabethan complex has been hosting significant gatherings since the 1500s — including, most famously, the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night in 1602. As unique conference centres go, it's difficult to argue with the credentials.

The Hall seats 300 theatre-style beneath a dramatic double hammer-beam roof, with standing capacity for 400 and a Minstrel's Gallery that lends even the most straightforward keynote a sense of occasion. For breakout programmes, the Parliament Chamber — a former library with garden views and stained glass bay windows — adds theatre-style seating for 70, while the intimate Queen's Room suits smaller working sessions or a private dinner for up to 22.

The combination of spaces makes Middle Temple a natural fit for full-day conference programmes, leadership summits, and AGMs where the setting is expected to do some of the work. Temple station is a three-minute walk, with easy access from both the City and the West End.

Drumsheds—a groundbreaking hub across music, arts, culture and community, this unique conference centre in London boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure and a roster of top events in the city. Drumsheds transformed to host various events from conferences, brand & product launches, exhibitions, fashion shows, filming, awards & dinners and ticketed events.

A 5-minute walk from Meridian Water Station, the event venue spans over 600,000 square feet, has an overall standing capacity of 15,000 and offers 4 distinct event spaces—rooms X, Y and Z and the ground level. The venue also has The Gallery, a blank canvas space, The Yard, a dedicated outdoor event space, stunning Dressing Rooms and a plethora of facilities. Cool, contemporary and in demand, Drumsheds is a top London conference & event venue.

Fun and function come together at this unique conference centre. Offering a conference space for up to 400 guests, Bounce Farringdon is not without its own spot of history. Billed as the place where the very first game of ping pong was played, it’s also the original Bounce venue.

Host your attendees with the help of a TV, projector, microphone and activity tables (for any scheduled breakout sessions) and relax knowing that this space is fully adaptable, so you can arrange it as much as you’d like.

As it’s close to Chancery Lane and Farringdon station, it’s a convenient choice for city attendees and out-of-towners alike.

If there was ever an ideal creative space for a conference, Menier Lounge would be it. Situated on Southwark Street, the former chocolate factory turned venue has been host to shoots, product launches and, you guessed it, conferences.

Head to the first floor and be welcomed by the plush velvet sofas, plants, exposed brick walls, wood floors, large windows and a private garden. With space for up to 55 guests, it’s one for smaller conferences and networking events.

Catering options are available, although they’re just a walk away from London Bridge favourites like Borough Market, Flat Iron and The Breakfast Club, so it’s really your call.

Branding, design, packaging, advertising, strategy. Where better to tap into creative and collaborative energy than at the home documenting some of the world’s best, and most iconic brands?

The West London venue offers a unique conferencing space, complete with astroturf, floor-to-ceiling windows and prints of brands like Marmite.

Unlike Marmite, this conferencing space isn’t polarising as it can be adapted to suit your needs, and up to 100 attendees.

You can find this space on Lancaster Road.

Like a quick burst of energy on a dull day, Huckletree West’s Auditorium is not your average conference space. With cool graphics along the wall, tiered seating and a bar area, it’s certainly a casual but inspiring place to host a conference.

Stay on top of it all and keep your audience engaged with full use of the venue’s AV equipment. Then head over to the bar for drinks after.

This unique conference centre has space for 200 standing attendees and 125 seated attendees, and is minutes away from White City station.

Yellow curtains and a yellow floor. This isn’t Oz, this is Second Home Spitalfields Auditorium space. The East London co-working space offers a bright solution for talks, workshops and mid-sized conferences (with up to 250 guests).

It’s available to hire between Tuesday – Sunday and comes fully equipped with everything you’ll need for a successful conference.

Whether it’s a second home or not is your call, but it is a great first choice for any future creative conferences. It’s time to pull the curtain back on your next great conference.
