About Illuminate (New..)
400 Banquet
400 Theatre
450 Standing / Reception
272 Cabaret
The panoramic windows on Level 5 draw you in immediately, with London's skyline stretching out before your guests. We've watched countless events transform in this light-filled space, from morning conferences where the city awakens alongside your presentations, to evening receptions where sunset colours paint the room in warm tones. Illuminate spans across Levels 4 and 5 of the Science Museum, giving you 450 standing capacity for drinks receptions or 400 seated for dinners and conferences. The industrial-height ceilings create an airy feel, while contemporary lighting fixtures add sophistication without overwhelming the clean lines of the space. We find the neutral palette works brilliantly, whether you're draping company colours for a product launch or bringing in florals for a wedding celebration. Our technical setup includes projectors positioned for clear sightlines from every angle, reliable Wi-Fi throughout both levels, and air conditioning that keeps the space comfortable even when packed with guests. The flexibility here means real options: theatre-style for 400, banquet rounds for formal dinners, or cabaret layout for 272 when you want more intimate table groupings with presentation space. South Kensington Station sits just minutes away, with both Piccadilly and District lines bringing guests straight to us. The museum quarter location adds something special, your attendees often arrive early to explore nearby galleries or stay afterwards for dinner in the neighbourhood. Working with our approved caterers, White Light and Moving Venue, we handle everything from cocktail canapés to three-course dinners. The bar facilities support full beverage service, and our events team coordinates timing so your evening flows naturally from arrival drinks through to last orders. This combination of spectacular views, versatile layout and solid infrastructure makes Illuminate particularly suited to corporate celebrations, award ceremonies, and milestone events where impression matters.
