Venue Description
The Imagination building, recipient of numerous architecture awards, houses this flexible central London venue. Suitable for corporate and press events linked to launches, seminars, exhibitions and celebrations. The Imagination Gallery has a traditional façade with a modern atrium incorporating suspended walkways, which lead to the glass walled fifth floor gallery, making it a unique and imaginative venue.
The Gallery is a highly versatile space which has the benefit of it's own flexible staging, set and display kit which can all be branded to enhance your event. Suitable for numbers from 10 to 180 for seated presentations, 200 for standing receptions and 100 for seated dinners, all events held in The Gallery enjoy the bright and modern surroundings of the building, including our outside balcony area. The impressive five storey white walled atrium can also be used for receptions for up to 350 guests. Both areas are fully accessible to wheelchair users.
Described as one of the great spaces of contemporary architecture, it provides a striking contrast to the building's Edwardian façade, fronted by a sweeping cobblestone crescent. The Imagination building has won major architectural awards since its completion, including the Royal Fine Arts Commission/Sunday Times 'Building of the Year' Award, the 'Building Category' of the British Construction Industry Awards and the 1990 RIBA 'National Award for Architecture'. It was also the unanimous selection of the judges in the BBC Design Awards. 'I was so full of enthusiasm, I couldn't stop talking about it', said Lord Foster during BBC Design Awards.
The Imagination Gallery is located at the top of the Imagination building, an architectural landmark in Central London. The Gallery is a glass-walled white space covered with a fabric canopy roof. Suspended walkways lead across a five storey high atrium, which can also be utilised. The Gallery, of course, has full disabled access.
Breathtakingly simple, The Imagination Gallery can be adapted to the specific needs of your event. Our staff are happy to work with your designers and contractors, or recommend our own trusted suppliers to personalise The Gallery for you. The reception area of the Imagination building can be branded to greet your guests upon arrival.
It is possible to use lighting and graphics to great effect in this neutral space. A modular exhibition display system allows an infinite number of design combinations.
We are able to supply you with the very latest technology and skilled audio-visual technicians to ensure your presentations run smoothly.
The Gallery space can be reduced to create an intimate format for a handful of guests, or its full extent can be employed for impact at a high profile launch, party, dinner or conference.

Let our dedicated and experienced team work with you to achieve stress free success.
