Number One Piccadilly - The London Pavilion - is a listed building on a triangular site bounded by Shaftesbury Avenue, Great Windmill Street and Piccadilly Circus, overlooking Eros, a site previously occupied by Rock Circus. Building owner Burford Group considered a number of options for the space, and director Mark Boyes commented: "Number One Venues' concept is the first one which not only envisages a versatile and stunning interior facility, spread over five floors, but also provides a unique new venue for the heart of London."
Number One Venues' plans will create a flexible central London venue ideal for events for up to 1,000 guests - including room for 500 seated hospitality, and a 500-seat auditorium for sporting fixtures such as boxing or snooker - a rarity in the capital.The project's £5m funding will be supplied by Lombard Capital and the venue will be launched at The Venue Expo at The Excel Centre on June 29 and 30.
