Science Museum

The Science Museum is a fascinating and inspiring central London venue for business meetings and events, with capacity for 750 guests. These are unique spaces with the backdrop of astonishing displays from the science world – an incredible setting for product launches, exhibitions, conferences, awards ceremonies, meetings, drinks receptions, banquets, and photoshoots and filming.

There are 15 flexible event spaces at the Science Museum. Biggest is the Making the Modern World gallery, which holds 750 for drinks or 400 for dinner. Dedicated to engineering history, the Energy Hall has capacity for networking events for 500, while Illuminate, the newest space, accommodates receptions for 450 or banquets and conferences for 400 delegates.

The 7 further galleries all hold 400 for drinks and there is also a state-of-the-art auditorium seating 400. There are 2 galleries with capacity for up to 300 and 3 more spaces that can hold 200. Hold your event in Flight and you can enhance it with an interactive 3D movie of an Apollo mission to the moon. If you like the idea of taking over the whole museum, exclusive hire is available on limited dates throughout the year.

As you’d expect from such a prestigious venue, you’ll have the services of a very attentive events team and can select catering, cutting edge AV technology and entertainment from dedicated suppliers who work closely with the museum.

The Science Museum is just a short walk away from South Kensington and Gloucester Road stations.
