VENUES

CONFERENCE
Central Hall Westminster
Storey's Gate
SW1H 9NH

Central Hall Westminster opened in 1912, and has since hosted many events of national and international significance – including most famously being the venue selected for the very first meeting of the United Nations.

Its feature space is the Great Hall, a 2160 capacity venue which is ideal for concerts and large corporate events such as conferences and AGMs. In its time, the architecture of the Hall was at the forefront of engineering, and the ceiling consists of a reinforced concrete dome, the 2nd largest of its kind in the world.

WELCOME RECEPTION
Westminster Abbey Cloisters
20 Dean's Yard
SW1P 3PA

The Cloisters were, in pre-Reformation days, one of the busiest parts of the monastic precincts and, with windows filled with glass, rushes strewn on the floor and braziers burning, would have been cosier than they seem today. They were used by the monks for meditation and exercise, besides providing access to the main monastic buildings.

Each of the four Cloisters is approximately 100 feet in length, dating mainly from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The Cloisters were rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1298.

GALA DINNER
Natural History Museum
Cromwell Road
SW7 5BD

The Natural History Museum in London is a museum exhibiting a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 70 million items within five main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology and zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Charles Darwin. The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons and ornate architecture—sometimes dubbed a cathedral of nature—both exemplified by the large Diplodocus cast which dominates the vaulted central hall.

Although commonly referred to as the Natural History Museum, it was actually officially known as British Museum (Natural History) until 1992, despite legal separation from the British Museum itself in 1963. Originating from collections within the British Museum, the landmark Alfred Waterhouse building was built and opened by 1881, and later incorporated the Geological Museum.
