We have flexible formats that can host from 400 to 3341 theater style and up to 680 cabaret style and our former use as a 1930's art deco cinema means there are fabulous views of the stage from all over our auditorium. We are able to offer a dry hire fee if you'd prefer to source your own catering and AV or we can make you event planning simple and offer a full DDR package. We are an unusual central London conference venue for those looking for something fresh and a little different.
