How to choose the perfect event venue

When choosing a venue there are a few things you should consider to make sure your event runs smoothly and stress free.

Is the venue in a good location? Will it make a good impression? Are there enough transport links to ensure guests can reach you easily? Does the space have the correct capacity for guests to enjoy their time with you? Are there enough options available to cater for your guests' food and drink requirements? Do they have good audio visual technology to help get your information across in the right way? Argyll has it covered.

Central Court

25 Southampton Buildings, London, WC2A 1AL

As the old headquarters for the London Patent Office, innovative ideas have been flowing through this building since famed London architect John Taylor cut its ribbon back in 1902.

If you are looking to host your next event in the midtown area of Holborn and Covent Garden, our Central Court location is an ideal venue. Previously headquarters for the London Patent Office in Holborn, Central Court can provide a sophisticated layout for your desired event. The glass domed roof and balconied walkways create a distinctive place for people to remember. 

Our most popular event space at this location is The Great Room. Within this space you can hold up to 40 people in a theatre layout or 30 people in a boardroom style. Either way the domed ceiling, wooden doors and period features all contribute to the overall character of the room. Your guest will be captivated upon first glance. 

To reach this property, you can easily access it by the London Underground lines. The Northern, Central, Circle and Piccadilly lines are all within walking distance. Alternatively, if you prefer to travel by bike, we have a secure and covered storage area where you can park your bikes.
