Park and the waterfront promenade,
the London venue enjoys a light and
elegant atmosphere which is ideal for
exhibitions, cocktail parties, product launches
and receptions.
The Main Hall’s main focal feature is the impressive 27m
arched glass atrium, complete with uninterrupted Italian marble
floorspace, steamed beech wooden wall panelling and state-
of-the-art AV technology. This event space is also overlooked by
a suspended mezzanine gallery ideal for attendee registration
or welcome drinks, whilst the Promenade Room can act as a
separate meeting room or organisers office.
The venue has a dedicated in-house events team who will
be on hand to assist from the moment of enquiry until the last
stand has been de-rigged and table cleared. Recent events and
clients have included Canary Wharf Squash Classic, Bloodhound,
Barclays, KPMG, Jaguar, BBC Question Time, Red Bull, Virgin Media
and Samsung to name but a few.
With catering partners Create on board, a memorable dining
experience tailored to your events’ requirements will always be
delivered, whilst the venue also comes fully air conditioned, with
in-house production team and security, janitors and a stewarding
service.
The ethos behind Canary Wharf was to create a first-class
environment in which quality space is an essential ingredient – this
venue embodies that belief and will be the ‘wow factor’ to keep
your exhibition delegates talking long after the event has ended.
