Unique Central London Venue

About 41 Portland Place

Our Grade II* listed Georgian Townhouse is perfect for conferences, press & product launches, dinners & receptions, parties, weddings and filming.

Centrally located in the heart of Marylebone, 41 Portland Place is just a 6-minute walk from Regent’s Park & Great Portland Street tube stations and 8 minutes from Oxford Circus. This historic venue combines traditional Georgian architecture with contemporary facilities, including state-of-the-art AV, to create a stunning setting for events.

Our flexible event spaces can accommodate between 6 and 150 guests, making us ideal for everything from intimate meetings to grand celebrations.

Profit with purpose

We are more than just a venue. We are a place where history is preserved, and the future is shaped.

Since October 2010, following a £5M refurbishment, 41 Portland Place has served as the home of the Academy of Medical Sciences.

When you host your event with us, you aren’t just hiring a room. You are directly funding the future of health. Profits generated from our venue hire go back into supporting the Academy’s mission to advance medical research and policy. Your event helps us build a healthier society, giving your booking a purpose beyond the day itself.

A building with stories to tell

Designed by James Adam in 1773, our walls have witnessed over 250 years of London life. While we have seamlessly integrated modern tech into our spaces, we have been careful to keep the building’s eccentric character alive.

If you look closely, you’ll find secrets in the architecture:

The Servant Staircase: Features steps that get smaller as they ascend. A trick designed to force staff to walk slowly and quietly.
The floors are not numerically identified on the servants’ staircase as most of the servants were illiterate. Instead, the glass panels on each level increase in size on each floor so they were able to identify which level they were on.
Symmetry at all Costs: The curved doors to the Fellows’ Room are cut from single pieces of wood to ensure the grain patterns are perfectly symmetrical.
