I don’t like typical touristy stuff so getting to walk around and exist in the same space as students and professionals was just the thing I needed. The exhibition was temporary but so brilliant, I asked if they sold a compilation or book I could take home. They didn’t sell books on the exhibition but apparently a lot of people ask them for it. Quaint. Quiet. Amazing bathrooms I should mention. Great design. Loved the whole experience. Oh! And their cafe has good coffee and snacks as well.
There is a nice cafe on the ground floor. Good selection of savoury items. Great for remote working, but internet access is time-limited. Very friendly staff. Within walking distance from Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street stations.
A good place for a coffee and some stimulation on the built environment. Lots of good exhibitions and innovative suppliers. Food is better than in past iterations.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
What a wonderful space to go for a meeting or to do some work. Close to Goodge Street underground so getting there is easy. There is a great coffee shop on the premises which serves all kinds of tasty treats.
Currently there's three exhibitions going on. One is for the Crossrail 2 project, the second is about digital design and construction, the third about modular design concepts to try and solve the chronic shortage of housing in London. I really enjoyed the latter, especially how quickly a new high rise building can be built using "factory manufacturing" techniques for building homes using pre-built units. The lower floor seems to be some kind of sales convention with lots of companies in the buildings trade hawking their products. It was a Saturday when I visited and all the booths were empty, which was actually quite good because I got to wander around and actually look at stuff without getting harassed by sales.
Currently showing an exhibition on the history of the building centre. As well as a smaller exhibition on sustainable building materials. Well worth a visit.
Cultural offer is mediocre and suitable for an aging audience. The exhibitions are lazy and small minded. The quality of events depend on the speakers. The depressing and stuffy event spaces really don’t help. The building centre doesn’t seem to know what it is doing and gives the impression it would change industry if it could. Front of staff are rude and on their phones. Positives are its coffee, location, and basement bathrooms.
Friendly service, great coffee, great food! What’s not to love!
Amazing venue, great products on show. Highly recommend.Visited onWeekday
Interesting exhibits that regularly change. Good place to meet with others especially at CIBSE events.
