Hire Darwin Centre and Courtyard, The Natural History Museum (SW7 5BD)
Darwin Centre
Opened by HRH Prince William and Sir David Attenborough in 2009, the Darwin Centre is a contemporary and aweinspiring space for events. In complete contrast to the ornate Central Hall and the dynamic Earth Hall, this space is light-filled with clean, contemporary lines.
The stunning glass atrium opens on to a peaceful courtyard, offering guests a tranquil oasis in the middle of the city. This outside space features a large amphitheatre that can house seating and entertainments or be used as a showcase arena for products. Ideal for dinners, receptions, exhibitions, product launches and fashion shows, the Darwin Centre also houses a modern lecture theatre that seats 80 guests, and features its own exclusive entrance.
