The Building Centre London

About the venue

The Building Centre is a distinctive central London event and conference venue at 26 Store Street, Fitzrovia, a few minutes' walk from Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road (Elizabeth line).

Home of the built environment since 1931, it offers a refreshing alternative to traditional hotel and conference venues for conferences, seminars, AGMs, training days, client briefings, product launches, pop-ups, drinks receptions, networking events, gala dinners, awards evenings, Christmas parties, fashion shows, team building, exhibitions and private events for up to 350 guests. Run a day of meetings, then move into an evening reception without changing venue. The ground-floor Immersive Gallery is the centrepiece: a 200 sqm event space with a 16 m x 3 m 4K immersive video wall and immersive audio, a striking backdrop for presentations, launches, branded experiences and entertainment. It takes receptions of up to 350 standing guests, theatre seating for 200 or seated dinners for 100, with a technician on hand during events. The Glass Room is a glass-fronted, street-facing space at the entrance to the building, giving events real visibility on Store Street and suiting VIP receptions, product launches, pop-ups and brand activations for up to 80 guests. A 5 m x 2 m transparent LED video wall carries welcome messages and branding, and a removable amphitheatre makes it a natural setting for talks, workshops and professional development sessions. On the lower ground floor, the Conference Rooms seat up to 200 theatre-style and divide into three acoustically insulated rooms for breakouts and parallel sessions. Hire includes the adjoining Lower Gallery for registration, refreshments and lunch, and for networking and exhibition stands when all three rooms are booked. Upstairs, the Boardroom seats 20 and the Salisbury Room 10, both with screens and video conferencing, for board meetings, interviews and small meetings. Every space includes Wi-Fi and an on-site event coordinator, with AV and hybrid support available and catering from our in-house and approved caterers. Step-free entrance, lifts to all floors and accessible toilets.
