Friends House in London has just unveiled ‘The Light’, formerly the main hall of the central offices of Quakers in Britain. The Light is the result of a £4.5million renovation of the old hall resulting in a contemporary 2000 sq-mt modern meeting space. Key heritage features of the old hall have been retained. The wooden panelling and large windows now feature alongside a new roof light and vaulted roof. The Light is fully accessible and includes a flexi step to the stage.
New audio visual facilities have been installed, including a five metre-wide projection screen, a new PA system and LED lighting. There is also the opportunity to broadcast events live online through the venue’s video system.
Friends House can provide a range of finger and fork buffets for up to 700 delegate and buffet lunches with refreshment breaks throughout the day for up to 400 delegates.
The Light is Friends House's answer to the increasing demand for large events space in central London. Whilst The Light has a total capacity of 1,000 guests it can be formatted for smaller groups. It is suitable for cabaret and theatre style meetings as well as exhibition space.
The Light has a dedicated reception and private entrance. It is located in Euston Road directly opposite London’s Euston Station. It opened Monday 10th November 2014
