Young V&A

This iconic Grade II listed building in the heart of Bethnal Green, East London, is the perfect space for any occasion. Boasting a large, central area on the ground floor, impressive statement staircase, balconies overlooking the space below and a high, arched ceiling, there is plenty of room for a large bar and dancefloor.

Young V&A can host up to 600 guests standing, 300 guests seated or 250 guests seated with a dancefloor.

V&A East Storehouse

Offering an entirely new museum experience, V&A East Storehouse offers open shelves and objects as far as the eye can see. The awe-inspiring Central Hall is an impressive location for a drinks reception for up to 300 standing, or an unforgettable dinner for 200 with arrival drinks in the Museum’s Welcome Lobby.

For a truly exceptional experience, exclusive access to the highly anticipated David Bowie Centre can be added onto hire of the main spaces.
