About this space

The Purcell Room is the perfect London venue for conferences, meetings and private concerts

This recently refurbished, wood-panelled auditorium has an intimate atmosphere making it suitable for smaller scale events such as meetings, seminars, panel discussions, conferences and private concerts, which can be held with a live audience, as a hybrid event or virtually.

Located within the iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Purcell Room offers a combination of state-of-the-art technical equipment, new seating and air conditioning. The backstage spaces include two dressing rooms, and a Green Room, making for a relaxing experience for anyone about to take to the stage. An area of the adjoining foyer is included with the venue hire for delegate registration and catering.
