As befits the headquarters of the British architectural profession, 66 Portland Place is a showpiece of design and craftsmanship. Events held here gain prestige and impact from the surroundings, which are as impressive today as they were when the building was first designed in the early 1930s.

The architect was George Grey Wornum (1888 –1957), whose design was judged the best of 3,600 entries in a competition for a new RIBA headquarters. Completed in 1934, the building was opened by King George V and Queen Mary. Art and craft are everywhere, from the decorated bronze front doors and sculpted figures either side of them to the etched glass screens and wooden panelling that can be found throughout the interior.

The building has hosted countless conferences, meetings and other corporate events as well as weddings, receptions, dinners and Christmas parties. Our 23 rooms include a wide range of fully equipped environments, from small meeting rooms to a lecture theatre for 400.
Situated on Portland Place, just five minutes walk from Oxford Circus, it is easy to get to and from, by bus, Underground or car.
