Whether it is because it resembles some great secular cathedral situated at the centre of a world-renowned seat of learning, or because its precincts and gardens offer pockets of tranquillity in the heart of a bustling city, Senate House is a sought-after venue for celebrations of all sizes and denominations.
Following a multi-million pound, three year refurbishment, Senate House is now one of the most versatile conference and events venues in London. Originally built in 1936 as London’s first skyscraper, this stylish and imposing art deco building combines modern facilities and technology against a setting of original architectural features. Offering a range of facilities from custom designed seminar rooms, original wood panelled lecture theatres and elegant function rooms, it is perfect for conferences, exhibitions, meetings, weddings, training, gala events and drinks receptions. Popular as a film and television location, Senate House has featured in many historical dramas and Hollywood blockbusters and is also a favourite venue for fashion shows and product launches.
An experienced catering and hospitality team pride themselves on offering a wide range of menus from working lunches and breakfasts through to bespoke canapé receptions and banqueting, all featuring fresh seasonal British produce and accompanied by a carefully matched wine list.
A dedicated event coordinator will be on hand to help organise and execute every aspect of your event, from planning to liaison with support services and contractors. As dynamic or discreet as you wish, their input will ensure that the proceedings run smoothly.
The prime location of Senate House’s conference venues in London’s thriving Bloomsbury area means that your guests will gather in the heart of one of the world’s great capital cities and at the centre of an international transport hub. With superb hotels, restaurants and theatres on the doorstep, a memorable event is guaranteed.
