Imperial War Museum to launch new features at reopening


Imperial War Museum in London (IWM London) reopens on Saturday 19 July with the launch of the dramatic new atrium and First World War Galleries designed by Fosters + Partners.

The new atrium features objects including a Harrier jet, Spitfire plane and V2 rocket and reveals how people’s lives have been affected by war and conflict from the Second World War to the present day.

The atrium will be available for seated dinners and receptions. A new suspended gallery in the rooftop offers an unusual space for a variety of events including breakfasts, receptions, presentations and dinners.

The IWM London’s boardrooms accommodate up to 24 delegates for a boardroom meeting or a seated lunch for up to 50 guests. The Conference Room accommodates up to 100 delegates.

Peyton & Byrne signed a seven year catering deal last October and operates two cafes at the museum.
