8 Oct 2026 Bored of beige venues? Host your next event at Base One Venue hire in West London, built for the innovation community Base One event venue in North Acton, West London The world is bored of beige.. The hotel function room, the conference suite that could be anywhere, the same strip lighting as the last three events and the boring sandwich platter. Nobody complains, but nobody remembers it either. If you want your event associated with innovation, the room you choose should say so. When you're looking at venue hire in West London, choose a place people take notice of. Somewhere your guests are curious about before they arrive- and are still talking about on the way home. Make your event as memorable as our space Most venues fade into the background. Base One doesn't. It's a working science hub and event venue in West London developed with Imperial College London, where companies are developing new technologies, inventing new materials, addressing clean energy challenges with the support of Imperial Incubator on site. Lab at Base One deeptech hub, North Acton Here, your guests walk past active labs and share the Cafe with founders and researchers. Whether it's a conference, a launch or a board meeting, your event takes on the energy of a building where new ideas are tested every day. Food is key to the experience here: every menu is bespoke and lovingly prepared onsite by our Base One Cafe team. From breakfast and working lunches to canapés and garden BBQs, we’ll shape the food around your event, made fresh in the building and served just steps from your guests. It's also cost-effective. Base One was built for scaling companies, not corporate budgets, so you get Imperial-backed space and a room full of energy for much less than a central London venue would charge. You don't need to be a member to book: our spaces are open to external organisations too.
