We’re incredibly proud to share that Imperial War Museum London has been shortlisted in the Best Unusual or Unique Venue category at the 2025 London Venue & Catering Awards! These awards recognise and reward outstanding achievement in London-based venues and catering companies.
This nomination celebrates what makes IWM London so distinctive as an events venue – a powerful blend of historic significance, striking architecture and versatile spaces. Set within a Grade II listed building in the heart of the city, the museum offers an unforgettable setting for events of all kinds. From grand receptions beneath suspended aircraft in the spectacular Atrium to intimate gatherings in the character-rich Orpen Boardroom, each space provides a unique atmosphere that tells a story. Guests don’t just attend events here – they experience them.
Every event at IWM London is complemented by exceptional catering. Menus are curated using fresh, seasonal and ethically sourced ingredients, prepared on the day to ensure exceptional flavour and quality.
This recognition reflects the passion, creativity and precision of our dedicated events team, who ensure that every event at IWM London is delivered seamlessly and with impact. This year’s ceremony will take place on Friday 14 November 2025, and we’re honoured to be among the finalists.
Whether it’s an award ceremony, Christmas party, corporate dinner or creative meeting, we believe events at IWM London stand out because of the stories embedded in the walls and the exceptional service we provide in bringing each one to life.
