Copper Box Arena
The Copper Box Arena is based in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, home to the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
In 2013 the venue opened its doors to the public having gone through a period of transformation and is now the third largest arena in London, with a 7,500 total capacity.
The Copper Box Arena is managed by GLL, a Charitable Social Enterprise on behalf of the London Legacy Development Corporation. As the UK’s largest charitable social enterprise, GLL’s mission to make services and spaces better for everyone aligned well with the legacy objectives of the venue.
The venue has worked with a variety of organisations, agencies and promoters helping to successfully develop and deliver a diverse calendar of events ranging from International sporting events, conferences, exhibitions, product launches and entertainment shows helping to make the Copper Box Arena one of the most popular Arenas in London.
It’s the unique versatility and flexibility of the 2,712m2 of pillar-free floor area that really appeals to clients whilst back of house there is a host of production and ancillary areas to facilitate the most complex of event requirements.

Tower of London
When William the Conqueror built a mighty stone tower at the centre of his London fortress in the 1070s, Londoners must have looked on in awe. Now nearly 1,000 years later, the Tower of London still has the capacity to fascinate, wow and inspire. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, not only attracts over 3 million visitors a year, but hosts over 430 spectacular events annually, from meetings and conferences, dinners and receptions, private tours and experiences to magnificent weddings, it really is an iconic and unique venue.

The Tower of London is about as a unique venue as they come. Playing host to all kinds of incredible events, it is firmly rooted in the history of not only our capital, but the country as a whole. The ancient surroundings and stunning backdrop of this riverside fortress are perfect for any event, the Tower of London can offer tradition with a twist, right in the heart of London – what’s more unique than that?
