The star of the new Hintze Hall will be a blue whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling. For the first time, the public will be able to walk underneath the largest animal ever to have lived.

Hintze Hall will be the largest events venue at the Natural History Mueum with a reception capacity of 1,200 people.

Hintze Hall will rejoin a selection of other meeting spaces at the Natural History Museum including the Flett Events Theatre, a purpose-built auditorium accommodating up to 200 delegates.

The Natural History Museum is located in Cromwell Road in South Kensington. Details: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/

The Postal Museum promises to be a light, bright and contemporary events space. The Postal Museum chronicles the history of the Royal Mail and will be available to hire for up to 140 guests for events such as cocktail receptions, summer parties and BBQs.

Across the road from the Postal Museum is Mail Rail - the Post Office’s former underground rail system used to distribute the mail underground across London. The former engineering depot and tunnels will be reopening as an events venue.

Delegates will be able to board a miniature train to transport them through the historic tunnels which once delivered mail across the city.

The space will accommodate up to 275 guests for a standing reception or 140 seated. It can be used for dinners and receptions, product launches and award ceremonies, networking and breakfast briefings plus filming and photography.

The Postal Museum and Mail Rail are located at the Royal Mail’s sorting office in Mount Pleasant, Farringdon. It is a short walk from Euston and Kings Cross St Pancras mainline rail terminals.  Details: https://postalmuseum.org/

The development will include a new £13million, six-storey Park Inn hotel, a ten-pin bowling alley, a ski-slope and a variety of restaurants as well as maintaining existing outlets which include a nine-screen Odeon multiplex cinema.

The John Smith Stadium in Huddersfield was launched originally as the McAlpine Stadium in 1994. However, the lack of executive quality hotel rooms close to the stadium has been cited as part of the reason it has struggled to attract big events in recent years.

Work is due to start shortly on site with a completion date of 2020 although the hotel is expected to open sooner.
