Alongside it being a popular wedding venue, it's also used frequently as a townhouse filming venue to hire. It's not hard to see why, just looking the venue takes us back in time!
Congress Centre is such a unique venue for a whole host of reasons, but their interesting variety of spaces is one of them.
We loved their blog this month, taking us through time with their various different spaces. They've had Killing Eve and The Crown both grace their venue as well of plenty of other well-known TV shows and films.

In normal times, BMA House is the headquarters of the British Medical Association and one of the most exclusive wedding venues Kings Cross offers, as well a great choice of summer party venue in central London
Back to marketing, the HAC is an highly prestigious organisation and, more recently, a central London hybrid events venue.
