Venue Testimonials
Had a wonderful evening here as part of the SU2C audience. The building itself is stunning. The entrance staircase is so grand. Seating was actually quite comfy for 6 hours. Facilities were good. Easy to find in the Westminster bubble.
Graham C
I attended a business meeting at this building and while I was waiting for it to be set up , I went wandering and I'm glad I did as this building is beautiful and has a great feel to the building. The venue was excellent and so was the venue.
Steve B
The setting of this venue is quite amazing, 100 metres from Parliament Square, really fantastic architecture and walking distance to so many other amazing landmarks. The inside of the hall is great, lots of breakout rooms for workshops and the central grand hall itself is amazing. Really good venue, all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Great time.
