About this space

Gallery 2 is the historic central reading room of the former Whitechapel Library. This Space retains its original Victorian exposed brickwork and polished concrete floor, and these beautiful surroundings make it one of the most amazing venues and backdrops for a number of events.

When it comes to unique venues in London, this Space cannot be beaten. It works perfectly as a backdrop for conferences, product launches, as well as dinners and evening receptions.

This space is the perfect canvas to create your event alongside the latest Whitechapel Gallery commission by a leading artist.

The space is based on a dry hire but there are catering options available in the space.
