ABOUT US
RIBA Venues, the conference and events arm of the Royal Institute of British Architects, is located between the buzz of Oxford Street and the tranquillity of Regent’s Park in London.
The light-flooded RIBA headquarters was opened by King George V and Queen Mary in 1934 and represents the best of British architecture. The open design incorporates floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an oasis of light and space.
RIBA Venues’ event facilities host conferences, meetings, dinners, receptions, weddings and creative events for up to 400 guests.
The three roof terraces offer rare outside space and panoramic views of London can be enjoyed from all rooms on the top floors. Today RIBA Venues plays host to a vast range of events for corporate and private clients.
In addition to its 400 seating auditorium, all its meeting spaces have large windows and offer modern technology. The art deco interior adds a touch of period romance and has provided the backdrop to many films and fashion shows.
RIBA regularly exhibits world-class architecture drawings, models and photographs which are an added attraction for guests attending events at RIBA Venues. The building also houses a bookshop, a café and restaurant and the finest architectural libraries in the world.
