Whole space at British Museum Penthouse
About this space
This space is looked after by Woolly Mammoth London, the only company in the city that specialises in hosting professional events in one-of-a-kind private homes. We believe there's no better way to create a unique, intimate atmosphere for creative businesses and bold ideas.
But we don’t just rent out homes, we take care of the whole event. From planning and setup to food, drinks, equipment, and anything else you might need, we make sure everything runs smoothly and feels special.
The British Museum Penthouse in Bloomsbury is a unique three-level venue perfect for intimate events, summer gatherings, or off-site meetings. With classic Georgian architecture and stylish modern interiors, it offers a relaxed but impressive setting. The rooftop terrace gives you clear views over the British Museum, while a smaller patio off the kitchen is great for casual drinks or a quiet break. Inside, there’s a spacious living and dining area, an open-plan kitchen, and a mezzanine office space that leads up to the rooftop.
The lower level has three bedrooms and bathrooms, offering privacy or space to get ready during events. Designed by a local creative, the space has a lot of personality, with curated artwork and bold details everywhere. There’s no lift, so the stairs are something to keep in mind, but if you’re after a private, well-designed venue in a central location, this one really delivers.
