About Ian Gulland Lecture theatre - Whitehead Building
Our team at the Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre knows that finding the right meeting space can transform how your event unfolds. We've watched countless conferences, lectures and workshops come to life in our 290-seat tiered theatre, where every attendee gets a clear view from their seat. The theatre sits within the Whitehead Building at Goldsmiths, and we're particularly proud of how the space works for different types of gatherings. The tiered seating naturally creates an engaging atmosphere - whether you're presenting research findings, hosting a panel discussion, or running a training workshop. We've equipped the space with everything you need: air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable, wireless internet supports interactive presentations, and our projectors and microphones ensure your message reaches every corner of the room. Whiteboards are ready when you need to capture those spontaneous ideas during Q&A sessions. What really sets our venue apart is the adjoining foyer. This bright space opens onto views of the College Green, and we regularly see it transformed for pre-event registration, coffee breaks, or exhibition displays. Many organisers use it for networking sessions with catering - the natural light and open layout encourage conversation. Getting here from central London is straightforward, with several transport links nearby in South East London. Our Conference Services team handles everything from your initial enquiry through to the event day. We coordinate with our catering team who can arrange anything from working lunches to more elaborate spreads, always tailored to what works for your group. We've hosted academic conferences, professional development workshops, cultural events and corporate presentations. Each event brings its own energy to the space, and we work closely with organisers to ensure the theatre setup matches their specific needs.
