Benefit from flexible spaces and services
Cromwell Place offers everything a gallery or art professional needs to operate, with various membership tiers available to suit your business. Our comprehensive facilities and technology have been created to offer the flexibility to run your business the way you want.
Members benefit from access to exhibition spaces, offices, viewing rooms, meeting rooms, hot-desking facilities and the Club Room.
Network in the heart of London
Situated in the heart of London’s cultural district, Cromwell Place gives our members access to a network of international art professionals. Once Prince Albert’s “Albertopolis,” South Kensington developed into one of Europe’s most successful cultural hubs during the second half of the 19th century.
Cromwell Place shares its pivotal location with the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Serpentine Galleries.
Relax and entertain guests
Our Club Room is a space for members to come together. A home away from home; where you can meet and entertain clients and colleagues alike, relax and enjoy a light food and drink offering.
