As the capital of the country, London is home to a glittering nightlife, historical buildings and offers a variety of cultural activities for all ages and interests. The city is also home to many prestigious venues, plenty of which are steeped with the rich history that envelopes London. Historical buildings are a glamorous backdrop to an event, whether it is a private party, a charity ball or a business conference. Here we take a look at three impressive buildings and their background and find out what they have to offer as an exclusive London venue. The Ritz The Ritz is famed for its glamour, and evokes images of London in the 1920s. Opening in 1906, this venue has become the yardstick by which all Hoteliers measure their success. The neoclassical architecture creates an opulent atmosphere that has impressed guests for over a century and remains one of the most prestigious places to hold an event. Past guests have included members of the royal family, British gentry and a wealth of discerning guests. As well as providing a sumptuous setting, there are many facilities including casino, health club and sports amenities for guests to use. For use as a conference venue, The Ritz offers all the equipment that could be needed, from projector equipment to secretarial services. Tower Bridge It is rumoured that in 1968 there was an attempt to purchase Tower Bridge by an American. However, as the bridge is often mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, the sale was of the old London Bridge further up river, leaving Tower Bridge safely here in the UK. The Bridge was constructed in the late 1800s and has become one of the most famous landmarks in London. The iconic and historical architecture give an air of exclusivity to events held here. There are four main areas that are available for hire. The walkways offer an extraordinary view of the river Thames and are often used as exhibition space. The Victorian Engine rooms are used for a spectacular dining or reception area, creating an unusual but opulent atmosphere. The two towers offer ideal facilities for meetings, receptions and dinners with enough room to seat 120 guests. The Victoria and Albert Museum Although not the first place one might think of to host an event, the world famous V&A is a luxuriant venue and spectacularly suited to banquets, dinner dances and lectures. The decor is as one would expect from a building associated with royalty and home to over 4 million artefacts from over 5,000 years of art and design history. Situated in the affluent area of South Kensington the 19th Century building is an architectural feat of excellence which attracts over 2 million visitors a year. Holding an event within these world famous walls will give a soiree a sumptuous and sophisticated feel. The rooms available for hire have a maximum capacity of 300 and facilities that provide conference equipment. In conclusion, London is an ideal place to host an event as these venues and many more offer a spectacular backdrop to a conference, dinner, wedding or exhibition. As well as providing a wide range of facilities, the infrastructure in place enables easy access to these venues for those that live in the UK and those travelling overseas. All in all, even the most discerning guest cannot fail to be impressed by a top London Venue.
