British Library Conference Centre Overview

Peyton Events at The British Library is a unique partnership, combining the stunning architecture of a uniquely British venue with the very best of contemporary British food.

The British Library’s purpose built, state of the art Conference Centre benefits from its own private entrance from the Piazza and offers exceptional and flexible facilities for conferences, meetings, private screenings, and receptions.

The rake seated auditorium accommodates up to 255 delegates, with facilities for simultaneous translation, film, sound and video presentation. In addition, there are five comfortable and individually designed meeting rooms / break out rooms catering for 10 to 80 delegates
