The Burroughs Room is a spacious, quiet meeting room with its own semi-private lobby. The lobby can be used for refreshments, networking or a buffet, giving guests space to gather outside the room.

Inside, the room can be set up in a range of daytime layouts. Pressed flower lightbox displays by artist Amy Shelton bring colour and character to the space.

Great for

Breakfast meetings, training sessions, receptions and focused group discussions.

Thank you and the team for outstanding management of our three-day meeting at the Wellcome Collection. In particular, you were very flexible with our changing requirements, and everything went off without a hitch. Special thanks to the tour guide, who was very enthusiastic and showed us a lot in a short time.
