commercial event hireHoused in an iconic Victorian Town Hall, Battersea Arts Centre’s rich heritage, beautiful architecture and creative flair make it London’s most ideal location for those looking for something a little different for their next event.

Beautifully restored by architects Haworth Tompkins following a fire in 2015, our Victorian Grand Hall is a stunning space for corporate events. Flooded with natural daylight and with original features from its rich 125 year history, it is ideal for hosting inspiring product launches, networking receptions, conferences and meetings. With an advanced technical capacity and AV infrastructure, it can deliver innovative events like never before.

The Grand Hall has its own private entrance with guests arriving into the adjoining Octagonal Hall, with its mosaic floor and stained glass-domed ceiling - an ideal space to host welcome drinks and coffee breaks.
