Located just a short walk from Holborn station, The View was fully reimagined and modernised for events in 2021, with a focus on sustainability, innovation and versatility. Famed for its world-leading research and scientific endeavours, the venue is headquarters to The Royal College of Surgeons of England and The Faculty of Dental Surgery and boasts a large terrace overlooking London’s largest public square, Lincoln’s Inn Fields. The View is managed by the UK’s longest-established events caterer and restaurateur, Searcys, serving extraordinary seasonal British food and fine wines. Up to 300 delegates can enjoy conferences and events at The View, with an outdoor terrace providing evening ambience or daytime respite. Meanwhile, our state-of-the-art facilities and built-in AV functionality make the spaces ideal for presentations, seminars and panel discussions. We strive to offer tailored catering, for example, we have a repeat client that chooses a full vegan menu and our Executive Chef has designed a bespoke menu just for them, to make sure they have enough variety and are not limited.
