About BFI Southbank

The BFI Southbank is a landmark venue in which to host your next conference or company gathering, allowing your guests to enjoy a unique event in a location that has been home to many memorable moments in the UK's film and cinema history for over 50 years.

The BFI Southbank comprises a number of iconic venues located on a highly desirable riverfront location at London’s Southbank, with excellent connectivity to public transport via Waterloo Station.

Over the years, we have staged inspiring events for leading corporate, tech, automotive and entertainment brands and many others.

The BFI Southbank offers 4 high-spec auditoria. Capacities range from an intimate Studio seating 38 to the 450-seater NFT1 auditorium that offers superb cinema projection, as well as mid-size auditoria seating 125 -138 that offer immensely flexible event spaces.

The auditorium spaces are perfect for hosting conferences, award ceremonies, screenings, company annual general meetings, product launches and project presentation spaces – especially if you are looking for the highest spec of audio-visual presentation – all of which are provided within the hire cost of the space.

We are also home to several versatile and stylish reception spaces, including an elegant restaurant and bar with views of the river Thames, which offer a great social space to host a welcome breakfast for delegates, an evening networking gathering, cocktail reception or staff Christmas gathering.
