A place apart there is nowhere quite like 1 Wimpole Street.

The home of the Royal Society of Medicine since 1912, this landmark Edwardian building has evolved to meet the demands of changing times without compromising its unique character. Behind its impressive façade, you ll find a series of flexible spaces that range from the intimate to the imposing, from the fascinating Marcus Beck Library housing the Society s collection of rare books to state-of-the-art lecture theatres and exhibition rooms. Whatever the event, our highly experienced team are committed to making it a success. We work tirelessly behind the scenes for you to create a real sense of occasion and to ensure that everything is perfect, from the locally sourced produce to the in-house technical support. It is this dedicated attention to detail that ensures that there s only one place to hold your next meeting, conference or event. At 1 Wimpole Street. 4 1wimpolestreet.co.uk 5
At 1 with your requirements Whether it s an off-site meeting or a special dinner, a fully-fledged product launch or an important exhibition, 1 Wimpole Street can accommodate virtually any occasion. Our rooms are located over three floors and range from small seminar or boardroom-style spaces to a 300-seat auditorium equipped with the very latest in audiovisual meeting technology. The comfort of your guests and delegates is vitally important. So, all of our rooms have easy wheelchair access, the auditoria are furnished with gently tiered leather seating and generous areas are available for refreshment breaks and conference lunches, receptions, and formal dining. 6 1wimpolestreet.co.uk 7
Taking more care Attention to the finer details is what really sets 1 Wimpole Street apart. That s why all our food is prepared in-house. It s unusual for a venue such as ours, but we believe it s the only way to maintain the highest standards. In fact, when it comes to catering, we go even further and insist on knowing exactly where all our ingredients come from. So we visit every supplier to assure ourselves that they share our commitment to sourcing local and sustainable produce. That goes for our butchers, our fish suppliers and the many other British producers who provide us with their products. But it s not just about provenance. As you enjoy your tea or coffee, you can rest assured that the growers have received a fair price from importers who take their welfare seriously. 8 1wimpolestreet.co.uk 9
Catering to the highest expectations Our team of chefs prepare all our dishes on the premises and devote as much attention to a breakfast for conference guests as they do to an intimate dinner party. Refreshment Drinks & breaks Breakfast Working lunches & suppers Hot or cold fork buffets Canapés Bowl food Private dining Wine list The range of menus we offer has been carefully designed to answer the occasion, whether it s creative canapés for an exclusive reception, or an unhurried lunch for 300 delegates with limited time to spare. 10 1wimpolestreet.co.uk 11
1 step ahead Meeting technology is constantly evolving and so are delegates expectations. We have put a great deal of thought and investment into equipping our rooms with the latest and best audiovisual facilities, and our on-site technical team will help you to make the most of them throughout your event. The technology built into our main auditoria supports state-of-the-art presentations as well as providing opportunities for branding. In addition, an in-seat audience-response and voting system encourages real engagement with your audience. You can also expand that audience beyond the four walls of the venue and go worldwide by taking advantage of our hybrid online streaming service. Finally, even our smaller rooms are furnished with in-built audiovisual systems including HD projectors and LCD displays. 12 1wimpolestreet.co.uk 13
