The Space

An exclusive retreat above Piccadilly

Named in honour of one of cinema’s greatest storytellers, the Richard Attenborough Rooms is an exclusive retreat perched at the top of BAFTA’s HQ, offering a sophisticated setting for canapé receptions like no other. Reserved for members and available only on select evenings throughout the year, this intimate, lounge-style space is steeped in cinematic heritage and charm. Original 19th-century roof lights bathe the room in a soft, natural glow, while sliding doors lead to a private terrace overlooking St James’s Church, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and its lush gardens.

The rooms are furnished with comfortable seating, creating a relaxed, informal environment perfect for mingling and conversation, while the historical charm of the space ensures every reception feels exclusive and memorable. As a members’ space, these rooms offer an unparalleled sense of privacy and luxury, making every canapé reception feel like a VIP event, set against the backdrop of London’s storied skyline.
