Victoria and Albert Museum London Corporate Functions & Events

A majestic Grade I listed building in South Kensington, Victoria and Albert Museum London is one of the most iconic venues in the city. Regarded as the world’s greatest museum of applied and decorative arts and design, the V&A is home to a staggering amount of works of art, fashion jewellery, photography and more, with pieces dating back 5,000 years.

When the doors close to visitors, the museum becomes a magical playground for networking events, celebrations, parties, and awards nights. Nine event spaces are yours to choose from – including an elegant outdoor venue, John Madesjki Garden. Consider the Dome, with its marble floors and central glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly for an impressive backdrop to your event, one of the several galleries for dinners or drinks receptions, or the Morris & Gamble Rooms for an early breakfast surrounded by stained-glass windows and Elizabethan Revival décor.

Catering comes from an approved list of external suppliers, with Asian and Kosher catering available. Add an exclusive exhibition viewing during your event to make it even more prestigious and work with your dedicated event manager to make this stunning venue yours for the evening.

Venue Testimonials

Grand venue for a grand wedding. The high ceiling and the echo in the main hall made it a magical experience for me and for the 500+ guests that were in attendance.

Really impressive, a beautiful space with a wide range of artifacts from all around the world - some of the large architectural pieces are incredible, and the garden space is delightful as well. Recommended.

A very beautiful museum built in Victoria[n] times, finished in marble, stocked with collections from the world.
