Venue Hire
We welcome enquiries from Corporate Members and organizations whose activities support and promote Japanese cultures, society and business.
Set in a stunning Art Deco building in the heart of Kensington, our minimalist, versatile venue offers the perfect blank canvas for any event.
The Ground Floor is a social retail space, offering a range of high-quality Japanese goods displayed in a gallery-like setting with a café stand serving refreshments. On the First Floor, the Japanese restaurant AKIRA is complemented by the private Tatami Room. The Lower Ground Floor is home to the Gallery, the Hall and the Library – each individual in its size and range of uses. Japan House London provides a unique and prestigious backdrop for a variety of events, including conferences, meetings, drinks receptions, product launches, fashion shows and dinners.
Explore the available spaces by room or event type below. If you are interested in an event type not currently listed, please do enquire with the Venue Hire team. You can also explore options to enhance your event through our cultural offerings, including workshops on kintsugi, sushi, wrapping, origami or kumiko.
Please note our venue hire spaces are only suitable for private events and not available for privately organized events that are open to the general public.
