Barbican Centre or organisers looking

F for a venue with a genuine point of difference, Searcys offers more than space alone. Its portfolio spans some of London’ s most unique and operationally capable venues, each with its own heritage and character, brought to life through experienced teams who understand the demands of exhibitions and large-scale live events. Searcys also brings experienced in house chefs and catering teams who ensure that the food and hospitality have a central role in supporting exhibitions, from high volume delegate catering to bespoke receptions, networking events and exhibitor entertaining.

Here we spotlight a few of the venues in the portfolio adept at larger scale events:
116 Pall Mall Located in the heart of St James’ s, 116 Pall Mall is one of London’ s most elegant Georgian venues. Designed by John Nash in the early 19th century, the Grade I listed building offers a series of interconnected rooms featuring grand staircases, chandeliers and ornate ceilings.
With capacity for up to 1,000 guests across multiple spaces, the venue is well suited to exhibitions, conferences, award ceremonies and gala events.
