Summer at the Natural History Museum
Natural History Museum
Cromwell Road, South West London, SW7 5BD
With its clean lines, airy, light-filled rooms and gleaming surfaces, the Darwin Centre is an exciting and versatile space for all kinds of events.
Discover the fantastic spaces for hire: the soaring atrium with its 8-storey cocoon, the landscaped outdoor courtyard, our unique Images of Nature gallery and the high-tech audiovisual venue, the Attenborough Studio. You can hire each separately, or combine them as you need.
How about an outdoor drinks reception in the tranquil courtyard as the sun sets, followed by a self-guided tour of the Cocoon then dinner in the spectacular atrium?
Or a private viewing of one of our exhibitions, then dinner in the Images of Nature Gallery and cocktails on the terrace?
The size and shape of the Darwin Centre’s atrium and courtyard make it flexible enough to accommodate:
Dinner: 50 – 150 guests
Receptions: 100 – 350 guests
