It will also be the base for our flagship programmes, including the London Festival of Architecture, Don’t Move, Improve and the London Real Estate Forum.

Private hire is an essential part of NLA at The London Centre’s offer. The front of house and event team manage bookings, including coordinating catering and AV for a range of meetings, conferences, away days and receptions.
