IWM London

Give your guests some serious wow factor by hosting your corporate event at the flagship venue for the Imperial war Museums. This magnificent Grade II listed building was once home to Bedlam, the Royal Bethlehem Hospital, and has been transformed by award winning architects to provide a unique and dazzling venue for conferences, presentations, product launches, dinners and receptions.

At the heart of the museum is a stunning Atrium, with capacity for a reception for 400 guests or a conference for 150 in theatre style; exhibits include a rare Battle of Britain Spitfire and a German V2 rocket. Suspended from the barrel-vaulted glass roof of the building is the dramatic Roof Terrace, hosting up to 240 guests and encompassing a bridge and fabulous views of the galleries below.

The Orpen Boardroom features paintings by WWI artist, Sir William Orpen and is a sophisticated space for meetings for up to 70 people standing or 50 seated. The Director’s Boardroom is classic, light and airy, and seats up to 20 delegates – perfect for discreet executive meetings and lunches. Also seating 20, Meeting Room 1 is a light filled room with views of the park surrounding the IWM building; often hired in conjunction with the Orpen Boardroom, this is great for break out space or dining, and has adjoining balconies overlooking the Atrium. The Conference Room seats up to 80 people and provides a spacious blank canvas for your business seminar, with a Foyer for registrations, refreshments or breakout sessions. Ideal for conferences, presentations or private screenings, the Cinema is a flexible space for up to 200 guests in theatre style, or 150 standing. But why not go all out to impress and opt for exclusive venue hire, making use of the glorious Atrium, balconies and Roof Terrace all at once?

Many of the spaces have the latest in-built audio-visual technology, though this can be tailored to suit your event. You’re guaranteed the highest level of service from the specialist events team and you’ll be astounded at the creative food and drink options brought to you from world class caterers, along with professional mixologists and sommeliers.

Enjoying a central London location close to Westminster, Southbank and the city, IWM London is situated close to paid car parks and underground stations – Lambeth North, Waterloo and Elephant & Castle are all just a short walk away.
