About Exploring Space
180 Banquet
300 Standing / Reception
Purple and blue light washes over the Eagle lunar lander as your guests arrive, immediately transported into humanity's greatest adventure. We've hosted hundreds of events in Exploring Space, and there's always that moment when conversations pause as people spot the Soyuz TMA-19M descent module suspended overhead, its heat-scarred surface telling the story of its journey home from the International Space Station. The gallery holds 300 for standing receptions, with plenty of room between the exhibits for natural circulation. For seated events, we can accommodate 180 guests, though many choose our signature long table arrangement directly beneath the rockets, which seats 80. Picture your celebration unfolding under actual spacecraft, with satellites and space probes creating conversation points throughout the evening. Our events team has perfected the lighting here, using the existing atmospheric blues and purples to complement the space hardware while ensuring guests can see each other clearly. The acoustics work surprisingly well for speeches and performances, with the high ceilings absorbing sound without creating echoes. Corporate product launches particularly suit this space, as do birthday parties where guests want something beyond the ordinary. The practical details matter too: we're minutes from South Kensington station, with Gloucester Road also nearby. Our kitchens handle everything from canapés to formal dinners, and the fully licensed bars are positioned to keep service flowing smoothly. The gallery layout naturally creates different zones, so networking events develop their own rhythm as guests move between the lunar lander and the collection of satellites. What we've learned from hosting engagement parties, performances and corporate celebrations here is that the space itself becomes part of the event. Guests photograph themselves with the exhibits, share stories about watching moon landings, and leave talking about where they celebrated rather than just what they celebrated.
