Venues, Halls & Meeting Rooms to Hire in for you Conference – Venkey

Nestled among the iconic towers of canary wharf in london, the east wintergarden is an architecturally-striking domed glass hall available for both private and corporate hire. The venue consists of two main function areas, the main hall and the gallery, as well as a smaller meeting room called the promenade room; all have very different capacities so we are able to accommodate a wide array of events. The main hall- the main hall comfortably accommodates up to 600 theatre style, 450 for a dinner (with space for a stage and dance floor) and 1000 guests for standing receptions. The main feature of the venue is the impressive arched glass atrium which measures 27m at its highest point, boasting a light and elegant atmosphere perfect for hosting exhibitions, cocktail parties, launches, receptions, fashion shows, dinners & press events. The gallery- the gallery suspended above the main floor, can be hired on its own or used in conjunction with the main hall. Often used to hold smaller functions, or as a drinks reception are when the main hall is in use, it can accommodate up to 120 theatre style, 100 for seated dinners and 250 guests for a standing reception. Alternatively the gallery can also be hired on its own and makes a great alternative space for smaller functions. The gallery is a great space as it is much more intimate than the grandness of the main hall, whilst still enjoying the venue’s striking architecture. The promenade room- the promenade room is a multi-media room adjacent to the main venue space, large enough for 40 theatre style and 25 boardroom style. It is ideal for workshop sessions, meetings or simply a break out room which clients can have access to throughout their event.

There are also a number of underground car parks at canary wharf including the newly constructed car park at jubilee place which is just opposite the east wintergarden; coaches may be parked with prior arrangement at street level for picking up and dropping off at the venue
