Venue Review of Natural History Museum

If you’re impressed by the Natural History Museum’s cathedral-like façade, the interiors will knock your socks off. The opening of the £78m Darwin Centre has added a fiercely contemporary facet to an already impressive collection of spaces. The imposing Central Hall, where guests can enjoy evening dinners and receptions around the giant cast of a Diplodocus skeleton, is still as knockout as ever, especially once its dramatic features are lit for events. Adjacent to it is the Earth Hall where up to 200 guests can dine beneath a vast globe and surrounded by 18m-high slate walls, etched with drawings of the night-sky. Daytime conferences can be accommodated in the Flett Theatre.
