Discover hidden and enchanting venues in vibrant east London at Queen Mary Venues.
With the spotlight in London moving east and with locations across the City, Whitechapel and Mile End – Queen Mary Venues is in prime position to allow you to place your next event in this area with its uniquely unusual historic and contemporary spaces.
Located across the campuses of Queen Mary University of London – with its heart in Mile End, where Victorian philanthropy paved the way for those living in the east end of London to receive an education and advance themselves in life – as Queen Mary continues to open the doors of opportunity today; the Mile End location provides an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of London – bordered in the east by Regent’s Canal and Mile End Park – running alongside the residential accommodation.
The iconic Victorian Octagon, a former library with triple height book lined shelves (recently named as one of the top Wedding venues in London), features a domed ceiling with busts of famous literati looking down. An ideal space; hidden and providing ambience and character – its 450 sqm. open floor lends itself to any event needing impact and atmosphere.
For those seeking a larger theatre style venue, the Great Hall set over two levels for up to 778, within the People’s Palace restored to its art-deco glory and with flexibility and flair built in – the venue can adapt to awards ceremonies, performances, rehearsals, book launches, keynote addresses, comedy nights or cabaret and fine dining.
Should the contemporary be more on your radar; then the Graduate centre, with its naturally lit 200 seat Peston Lecture Theatre is an option. Queen Mary Venues has over 1000 bedrooms available during the summer, to support residential conferences located in a village style layout with 24 hour reception.
