The Cartoon Museum
In the heart of Fitzrovia, a short distance from Soho and Oxford Circus, The Cartoon Museum provides a unique backdrop for exclusive entertaining.
Give your guests a private view of 250 years of the nation’s favourite original cartoons, caricatures and comics. This rare venue is available for exclusive private hire and we welcome a range of events such as meetings, workshops, cocktail parties, receptions, dinners, launches, filming, photoshoots and more.
With options to hire the entire space, which is perfect for drinks and canape receptions, or just our Clore Learning Studio, which is perfect for meetings, launches, workshops or away days, we really do have the capacity to create your perfect event. The museum receives no public funding and is wholly reliant on the generosity of its audience and venue hire for its continuing existence.
