Building Centre
Carrie’s expert take
“For a launch, exhibition or creative corporate event, The Building Centre is definitely one to consider. It has a very different feel from a conventional conference venue and I think it works especially well when the subject of the event is design, architecture, property or sustainability. The Store Street location is excellent too - really central, but tucked away from the busiest parts of the West End”
Located in the heart of Fitzrovia just moments from Tottenham Court Road, The Building Centre is a distinctive Central London venue combining contemporary event facilities with an inspiring architectural backdrop. Housed in a historic modernist building on Store Street, the venue is dedicated to innovation in architecture, design and the built environment, giving events a creative and thought-provoking setting.
The venue offers a variety of flexible event spaces suitable for conferences, seminars, receptions and private functions.
At the heart of the Main Gallery is our new 16-metre by 3-metre 4K ultra-high-resolution video wall – one of the most advanced immersive screens in London. Stretching the full length of the gallery, this state-of-the-art display transforms the space into a dynamic canvas for presentations, performances, screenings, installations, and brand storytelling. Whether you’re showcasing bold visuals, cinematic motion, or interactive digital content, the screen brings every idea to life with clarity and scale unlike anything else in central London.
The Seminar Suites are purpose-built for presentations, workshops and talks, accommodating up to around 200–220 delegates and able to be opened into one large room or divided for breakout sessions. Meanwhile, the striking Main Gallery provides a contemporary space for evening receptions, networking events and product launches, hosting up to 200 guests or larger events across the building.
A striking transparent video wall provides the perfect opportunity to display a personalised welcome message or branded content for your guests.
The Glass Room is filled with natural light, thanks to large windows on two sides, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Ideal for private celebrations and corporate receptions for up to 100 guests, the space is fully accessible and equipped with integrated lighting and power, making it equally well suited to professional presentations and events.
Smaller meeting rooms and boardrooms are also available for executive meetings, training sessions and team workshops, all supported by modern AV technology and hybrid event capabilities. Across the building, capacities can reach approximately 350 guests depending on layout and event style.
A key feature of The Building Centre is its ever-changing exhibitions on architecture, sustainability and design, which provide an engaging visual backdrop and ensure every event feels unique. With excellent transport links via nearby Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road stations, professional in-house support and established catering partners, the venue offers both convenience and creativity for corporate and private events in central London.
