    We hosted a one day conference here and the venue was perfect for it. We used the conversation room and the mezzanine which allowed easy guest flow and was the perfect size (about 60, 70 would be perfect I think, 80 a squeeze).The events team are super helpful, the AV team great. We upgraded to bowls for lunch and it was excellent quality. I'd host there again without hesitation.

    I was privileged to speak at an event in this beautiful historic building, the home of science since 1799. It is magical inside and the main lecture theatre just like you see on TV. The staff and security were friendly, drinks and catering of a decent quality. Such an inspirational place for convening people and disseminating knowledge. Highly recommended for an impactful venue and for a general visit.
