London’s most sought-after reception venue

You can't beat a reception venue in London that has a history stretching back over a century. Founded during the First World War, IWM London offers a unique setting where you and your guests can mingle and dine surrounded by thought-provoking art exhibitions.

Delight your guests by hiring out the Atrium, with its dramatically suspended aircraft. Or, if you’re looking to take your reception to new heights, you can float above the Atrium on our contemporary Roof Terrace, with sweeping views of the floors below. Whatever your vision, our friendly venue team will ensure that planning your reception is stress-free from the get-go.

  • Thank you so much for yesterday! The feedback has been very positive, especially regarding the private tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and allowed plenty of time for questions, photos, etc. I’ve already received a couple of emails today from attendees expressing how much they enjoyed the tour and found it fascinating.

  • The catering staff and security were amazing on the day. Everyone was super nice, helpful, and very accommodating when some plans changed, and we had a few extra people. The room and tech were great! We especially loved the extra touches and the music.
