One Great George Street: Telford Theatre

The Project

Located in the centre of Westminster, One Great George Street is a striking Grade II listed building boasting 21 function rooms and two fully equipped lecture theatres, making it ideal for hosting events befitting any occasion. As part of a building-wide refurbishment, the site wanted to incorporate state-of-the-art technology in one of their largest rooms, the Telford Theatre. With fixed raked seating capable of hosting up to 240 people, this purpose-built conference and lecture space has a stage at the front, with a speaker’s lectern and top table that can seat up to seven people.
