About us

BMA House offers a beautiful backdrop to a whole host of events including conferences, parties, weddings, awards ceremonies and meetings. BMA House in Tavistock Square is a stunning, Grade II listed building which was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911 and has been home to the British Medical Association since 1925. Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, BMA House is just 6 minutes from Euston Station and 10 minutes from Kings Cross. Recently updated with state-of-the-art AV facilities, our spaces offer guests an inspiring environment in which to meet, work and mingle. We also have two large outdoor areas – an impressive Courtyard and a tranquil botanical Garden – a rare find for such a central location. Alongside these stunning outside spaces, are 22 meeting rooms with the capacity to go from 8 to 294 for a conference, 200 for dining and 320 for a reception.
