Discover central London's top value-for-cost meeting and conference centre. The Abbey Centre is conveniently located near Parliament Square in the heart of Westminster. Our high-tech (but low-budget) meeting rooms suit groups from 2 to 180 for training, AGMs, meetings and conferences. Take a closer look at our central London meeting rooms and conference facilities.

Inside our handsome and historic building we offer you a warm welcome and personalised service. Our meeting rooms are light and airy, with by far the most affordable prices in Whitehall or Victoria. But The Abbey Centre is more than just a conveniently located (and competitively priced) meeting and conference venue. We're also a vibrant community centre, providing a welcoming space for South Westminster residents to visit for educational, cultural and social activities. By hiring our meeting and conference rooms, you help support this vital community service, (ticking your CSR box). To help even more, volunteer for a CSR project.

Hiring The Wash House Café enables us to offer our older members subsidised meals and hot drinks. For large meetings, you can hire the Wash House Café. The café is on the ground floor, with doors opening onto a small balcony. The higher daytime hire fee reflects our cost in closing the café to regular customers. For larger meetings you can hire the café and annexe as one extra-large meeting space.

    I visited the Abby Center for the first time just before the pandemic and found that it was a place for everyone in the area who was looking for work, support or advice on various matters. Thanks to this charity organization, I felt that I belonged to the community in which I live, I made new friends and became convinced that I could count on a wide range of help in every need.

    Difficult to locate. Main hall had a cosy feel but handrail needed for stairs onto the stage.
