About
8 Northumberland Avenue
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.
