Set in the heart of London’s Covent Garden, 60 Great Queen Street is a venue that effortlessly bridges heritage and high performance event delivery. This iconic Art Deco building has long been associated with ceremony and grandeur. Today, it stands as one of the capital’s most compelling addresses for commercial events, including exhibitions, conferences and summits.
From the moment guests arrive, the venue offers an unmistakable sense of scale. Sweeping staircases, geometric detailing and high ceilings offer a cinematic first impression, lending even the most corporate agenda a sense of occasion. But beyond aesthetics, 60 Great Queen Street is a venue designed for flow, a critical factor for conference organisers balancing plenaries, breakouts, networking and catering.
At the heart of its conference offer lies the Grand Temple. A vast space with fixed tiered seating that accommodates large-scale conferences for 400-600 guests, with the option to extend to up to 800. Its dramatic proportions, complete with an ornate mosaic ceiling, theatrical lighting and built-in stage, provide an inspiring backdrop for keynote addresses and panel discussions. Crucially, the Grand Temple is not just visually impactful; it is technically equipped for modern production demands, supporting high-spec AV, live streaming and complex staging builds with a multitude of branding opportunities. For brands looking to make a statement, few spaces rival its sense of gravitas.
What truly elevates the conference experience is how the Grand Temple works in tandem with its adjoining rooms. Directly connected spaces can be seamlessly utilised for speaker green rooms, VIP hosting or smaller breakout sessions. The Vestibules are a popular choice to add a bar as a central point to serve refreshments throughout the day. It is a logistical advantage that transforms a beautiful hall into a practical, high functioning event environment.
For smaller, though no less impressive conferences, The Gallery offers a straightforward conference solution for up to 220 delegates. Bathed in natural light and defined by its elegant Art Deco detailing, The Gallery offers a refined setting at excellent value for its location. A thoughtfully designed AV package provides all the essential production support for a polished conference experience, without unnecessary complexity.
The Gallery benefits from an adjoining ante room, which can be configured as a welcome lounge, registration area or used for catering, allowing a single conference to unfold across multiple touchpoints without losing cohesion.
Event catering is delivered by award-winning Moving Venue, recognised as Caterer of the Year at the Foodservice Cateys and London Venue & Catering Awards. From freshly brewed Fairtrade coffee and tea served with sweet or savoury accompaniments, to seasonal lunch options ranging from hot and cold fork buffet options to bento boxes, bowl food and artisan sandwiches. All serviceware, linen, furniture and kitchen equipment are included, ensuring seamless delivery throughout.
60 Great Queen Street hosts conferences that feel elevated and distinctive, while delivering the operational infrastructure required for seamless execution at scale. In a city saturated with blank canvas venues, this is a setting that provides both story and substance.
