Exciting Changes for Our Annual Dinner Venue and Event Details

We are thrilled to share some important updates about this year’s Annual Dinner. Thanks to the overwhelming response and growing interest, we have secured a larger venue to ensure everyone enjoys the evening comfortably. This change reflects the enthusiasm and support from members, guests, and award winners who make this event so special.

New Venue to Accommodate Growing Attendance

The Annual Dinner will now take place at:

DoubleTree by Hilton London Angel Kings Cross

60 Pentonville Road

London, N1 9LA

This venue offers a spacious, single function room that can comfortably host all attendees. Moving to this location means we can keep everyone together in one room, enhancing the atmosphere and making it easier to celebrate as a community. The venue’s central location near Kings Cross also provides convenient transport links for all guests.

What This Means for Attendees

There is no immediate action required from those who have already registered or purchased tickets. Please make a note of the new address and plan your journey accordingly. We recommend checking transport options in advance, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.

The venue team is currently working on a bespoke menu tailored specifically for our event. Once finalized, attendees will receive a short form to select their meal preferences. This process will be straightforward and designed to accommodate dietary needs and preferences.
