The variety of different venues available to event bookers who need space for over 1,000 standing guests is remarkable. In this squaremeal.co.uk list of we've compiled a selection of top large-scale venues in London that accommodate for that volume of guests or delegates.
A natural choice in the capital may be one of the music or theatre venues in the list, which offer character and a sense of fun and excitement to an event. If you're after something really different, we have a range of different funky venues, for example why not take a look at ZSL London Zoo? You could mix your conference or AGM, with a teambuilding event or a unique away day.
There also a range of marquee venues and temporary structures, which might work well if you're interested in a blank-canvas venue where you can add your own colour scheme and theme. These venues are particularly good for seasonal events – Christmas parties being the obvious one. If something more permanent tickles your fancy check out the sports venues we have listed. They combine space with a real sense of theatre.
