About Venue

Located just moments from Trafalgar Square in the heart of Westminster, 8 Northumberland Avenue is one of London's most prestigious Grade II listed event venues, combining magnificent Victorian architecture with cutting-edge event technology and contemporary production capabilities. Originally built in the late nineteenth century as the grand ballroom of the Victoria Hotel, the venue provides an exceptional setting for conferences, award ceremonies, gala dinners, exhibitions, product launches and exclusive corporate events.

The venue is centred around two spectacular interconnected spaces – the Ballroom and the Old Billiard Room – allowing organisers to create seamless multi-stage events with separate conference, dining and networking environments. Historic interiors, soaring ceilings and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology combine to deliver one of Central London's most versatile and impressive event destinations.

Situated on Northumberland Avenue between Trafalgar Square and Embankment, the venue enjoys one of the capital's most accessible locations, surrounded by London's political, financial and cultural landmarks while being within walking distance of the West End and Covent Garden.

Event Spaces

The Ballroom

The Ballroom is the venue's signature space, featuring ornate Victorian architecture, grand chandeliers and high ceilings complemented by intelligent lighting and integrated production technology. Suitable for conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies and large receptions, it offers a dramatic backdrop for high-profile corporate events.

Old Billiard Room & Annex

The Old Billiard Room & Annex provides a flexible blank-canvas event space with elegant period features and contemporary infrastructure. The adaptable layout makes it ideal for exhibitions, networking receptions, product launches, breakout sessions and private dining, while also working seamlessly alongside the Ballroom for larger events.
