21 Portland Place, the home of the AAGBI was built in 1776 and is an elegant 18th century listed building, originally built on the 'Grandest Street in London'. It is a Grade II listed building, and contains a wealth of attractive features. Particular fine examples are the ceilings of the main rooms - the Portex and the Intavent Suite - which incorporate ornate moldings and paintings into their design. The house was bought by the AAGBI in 2002 and has been modernised to create a fully functioning office and meeting venue whilst respecting the beauty of the building.
The Abbott Forum is a spacious, versatile function room, featuring a splendid vaulted ceiling, glass roofed atrium and catering area - an ideal place to dine, entertain or relax.
This is a perfect location to host a reception, lunch, formal dinner or exhibition.
Arranged as a dining area there is adequate seating for up to 55 people.

Leaburn
November 2023Went to the downstairs museum. Pressed the buzzer and reception let me in. When asking for the museum, the receptionist signed me in and kindly showed me down to the museum and gave a warm welcome to browse what is a very small space. Two inlets in the room contain the whole museum but enough information was packed in for a half hour stay. I read and learned a lot and it was very relaxing as there were no other visitors with this being such a little known and signposted museum.
