About this venue
Pushkin House is an independent cultural centre in a Grade II* listed Bloomsbury building with hireable music/function, screening/gallery, drawing/library, meeting and bar spaces. The venue advertises parties, performances, recitals, book launches, lectures, filming and meetings for individuals, organisations and businesses. A February 2024 venue deck reports space for up to 150 people across multiple rooms and the bookshop. Room rates and packages vary; confirm availability, current prices and layout directly with the venue. Access is limited: a ramp reaches the ground-floor Library, there is no lift and the toilets are on a separate floor; the visitor page says the building is not wheelchair accessible.
