About this space

Friends Room is a Function Room in the Hellenic Centre that provides a compact, adaptable interior focused on practical meetings and presentations.

Design: The room shows a restrained, functional aesthetic with pale painted walls and herringbone parquet flooring. The high ceiling and modest cornice preserve a clear, uncluttered visual scale.

Features: A built-in PA system and speakers support amplified presentations and performances. Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are supplied. A cleared floor area and provision for own music allow dancing or a small stage setup. Wheelchair access and accessible toilets are available, and events are subject to the venue's noise restriction.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a practical, adaptable room for seated presentations or informal standing receptions in a relaxed, social setting.

What sets it apart: A central skylight delivers steady, even daylight across the room's floorplate.

What guests say: The room is supported by friendly, attentive front-of-house staff. The space delivers clear sound suitable for performances.

Kay couldn't have been more helpful with booking the Friends and Members Room at the Hellenic Centre. Costs were provided upfront and everything ran very smoothly on the day. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to book.
