66 Portland Place is the home of the Royal Institute of British Architects. An Art Deco landmark in the heart of the West End of London, 66 Portland Place offers every kind of venue in a single, spectacular building.

As befits the headquarters of the British architectural profession, 66 Portland Place is a showpiece of design and craftsmanship. Events held in this centrally located London venue gain prestige and impact from the surroundings, which are as impressive today as they were when the building was first designed in the early 1930s. The architect was George Grey Wornum (1888- 1957), whose design was judged the best of 3600 entries in a competition for a new RIBA headquarters. Completed in 1934, the building was opened by King George V and Queen Mary. Art and craft are everywhere, from the decorated bronze front doors and sculpted figures either side of them to the etched glass screens and wooden paneling that can be found throughout the interior.

Its suites and rooms can host meetings, Conferences and receptions for up to 400 people, and seated dinners for up to 250. The building also provides a memorable setting for wedding ceremonies, receptions and Bar/Batmizvahs and is a perfect location for filminal. |
