British Library, Eliot Room

The British Library is not only the national library of the United Kingdom but also one of the world's greatest academic institutions.

Opened in 1998, the library is now hailed as a great triumph of design and technology as well as one of the greatest repositories of library materials which include over 150 million items, with some material dating from 3000 years ago. The auditorium can accommodate up to 255 delegates, with facilities for simultaneous translation, film, sound and video presentation. This, combined with a full team of onsite technical expertise, ensures world-class delivery. In addition, there are five comfortable and individually designed meeting rooms allowing for 10-60 delegates. All rooms have natural daylight, electronic blackout blinds, climate control and sound proofing.

Further to the Knowledge Centre, the British Library also has an executive Boardroom suite, consisting of the British Library Boardroom, which is ideal for board meetings and presentations as well as private lunches and dinners for up to 32 guests. The additional rooms in this suite can accommodate from 4 to 12 guests making it in an ideal option for smaller meetings and interviews.

In the evening, the library offers receptions and dinners for up to 200 guests. The King's Library Gallery offers a spectacular backdrop with the King's Library Tower, holding over 65,000 volumes or the Terrace Restaurant with its floor to ceiling windows and outdoor, rooftop terrace for summer events.

Overlooking Euston Road the double row of sound proofed windows allows for off-street silence whilst still providing natural daylight and views of Kings Cross.
