Take a look at our top six quirky conference venues, handpicked by our team of venue experts.
ZSL London Zoo
You might be surprised, but ZSL London Zoo is an excellent place to host a conference. It has a superb range of professional and private spaces with views of eye-catching animal residents and environments. For example, The Prince Albert Suite is a conference venue unlike any other, with its spectacular rooftop terrace overlooking Penguin Beach.
Even better feeling than merely hosting an event is to have a philanthropic cause behind it. By holding an adventurous conference at London Zoo, you are helping to contribute to ZSL - the charity behind London Zoo, which supports the global conservation of animals and their habitats.

Located in Covent Garden, the London Film Museum is perfect for any central London conference. It's unique, memorable and perfectly versatile, with five spaces available to hire exclusively or individually across the building.
