Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House is as unique a venue for a special event as it is for artistic performances. Whether it be a corporate drinks reception for 1000 guests, a product launch for 200 or a private dinner for four, this event space is extraordinarily diverse. It is without doubt one of the most distinctive and highly individual settings in the heart of London.
Offering both traditional grandeur and cool, contemporary elegance we have a dedicated events team and bespoke catering on hand to ensure your event is a memorable success
Once the Covent Garden fruit and flower market, The Paul Hamlyn Hall is now a spectacular event space with dramatic architectural appeal. Flooded by light for lunches and conferences or spotlight after dark for spectacular receptions and dinners, the Paul Hamlyn Hall really is a flexible and outstanding venue for any event.
