The Old Vic

The Old Vic sits in Waterloo, one of London's most recognisable cultural addresses, with a maximum capacity of 1,000 for theatre-style events. The main theatre space spans 1,250 m² and carries the kind of atmosphere that warm house lighting and a full stage-rig naturally produce - details that tend to register with audiences before a word is spoken. On-site facilities include AV equipment, a sound system, flatscreen display screens, high-speed internet, air conditioning, and natural light, giving event and communications teams a reasonable technical foundation to work from without importing a full production kit. Getting there is straightforward: Waterloo East Station is a four-minute walk and London Waterloo Station six minutes, making the venue accessible from a wide spread of London. London City Airport is around 37 minutes by car for international delegates. The London Eye is a 14-minute walk away, and Big Ben roughly 18 minutes, placing the venue within easy reach of the South Bank's broader offer for pre- or post-event plans.
