About Venue
Impeccably restored from the bones of a Victorian engine house, Exhibition White City is a unique hybrid events venue in the heart of West London. This iconic space seamlessly blends the rich legacy of the London railways with ultramodern design, offering a versatile space that can accommodate up to 780 for dinners, 1,169 for conferences, 1,500 for receptions and up to 2,800 for music events.
Nestled within the Westfield London development, Exhibition White City is the perfect choice for those seeking a memorable setting for their events. Whether hosting conferences, exhibitions, award dinners, product launches, location filming, or live music performances, the venue’s distinctive architecture and contemporary features provide a stunning backdrop that elevates every occasion.
The First Floor is the largest space in the venue, with over 950 square metres of flexible event space. The dramatic high ceilings, with exposed roof trusses and original crane structure, combine with state-of-the-art facilities to provide the perfect place for large-scale music and culture, dinners, exhibitions and conferences.
The original arched windows flood the space with natural light during the day, while at night the victorian glazed tiling shimmers under the chandeliers. Two custom-designed bars, crafted from reclaimed timber, zinc and antique brass service the space: one fixed and one movable. Removable staging, a high-end lighting rig and a digital audio system specified for live music allow for multiple configurations for events and performances.

This is a Spot! Great new venue, which was super easy to find with plenty of amenities inside. Wood Lane tube station (Hammersmith and Circle Line) was 2 minutes away and White City (Central Line) was 4 minutes away. Drop only here and would have to park in Westfield shopping centre if coming via car.

This venue is beautiful. Apart from the converted historic music venues this is probably one of the most beautiful venues in London. The sound is really good here but it is very flat so if you’re short you will not be able to see anything unless you’re at the very front. More venues need to have a Brixton floor. It sounds silly but the bathrooms are amazing in that there’s a lot of them and they’re impeccably clean. The ground level is just bar and merch with the stage being upstairs with a bar at the back. If you’re driving - park in Westfield car park B as you’ll get in and out super quickly. The only downside is that it’s right on a ‘main’ road so going there and leaving you’re literally barred from crossing the road until the light is green which at the end of the gig can slow things down. All in all great venue though!
