About this space

John Logie Baird Suite & Atrium is a Function Room in the Marriott Victoria & Albert Hotel that pairs a suite-style layout with distinct open-plan meeting areas and a dedicated reception lounge.

Design: Contemporary neutral finishes sit alongside the building's industrial bones, with high ceilings, exposed beams and polished surfaces. Modern lounge seating and high tables create clear zones for conversation and informal work.

Features: A compact service bar and a standing-height seating area provide an on-site drinks and reception point. Fixed PA speakers and a wired sound system permit amplified audio, and the room allows guests to play their own music. The space includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, and it is wheelchair accessible with a step-free entrance and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small professional groups that need a relaxed, mixed-seating layout for seated meetings or standing receptions with informal breakout space.

What sets it apart: A glazed, covered atrium sits adjacent to the suite and provides a sheltered, separate light-filled breakout and reception space directly connected to the function room.

What guests say: The event team for the space is attentive and provides patient technical support during set-up. The suite's exposed beam and brick features combined with consistently clean room set-ups make the space feel well prepared.

FAQ

Yes. Decorations such as bunting and props are usually fine, subject to usual venue guidelines, as long as they do not damage the room.

No, a stage is not included. One can be hired from a supplier at an additional cost, and it would reduce the space available for guest tables.
