IET London: Savoy Place
Carrie’s expert take
“Savoy Place is a great choice when technology really matters. The AV facilities are excellent, but you also get a prestigious central London location, Thames views and a fantastic roof terrace, so it doesn’t feel like a conventional conference venue.”
IET London: Savoy Place is the unparalleled venue choice for tech-driven events. Offering 18 versatile event spaces with a capacity from 6 to 451 guests; perfect for conferences, presentations, meetings, exhibitions and award ceremonies.
Complete with State-of-the-art technology, an unrivalled roof terrace view and easily accessible by rail, tube and river, just minutes’ walk from Covent Garden, Embankment and Temple underground stations.
Sitting on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of the capital, the building, which has been our home for over 100 years, has been a part of London’s cityscape since 1246. The fascinating history of this building means that we can compliment any and every event with a touch of character, infused with state-of-the-art technology within contemporary meeting spaces.
