The Institute for Contemporary Arts

The Institute for Contemporary Arts also known as The ICA boasts a variety of spaces ranging from grand reception rooms to vintage cinemas.

The impressive Nash and Brandon Rooms have remarkable views of the London skyline and are situated on the first floor of the building.

The Nash & Brandon are grade 1 listed rooms and retain many unique cornicing and features designed by their architect John Nash. The rooms prove as quite a surprise within to the contemporary design of the rest of the building.

The Nash & Brandon open in to one and a small Ante room, joining the two together. A grand staircase and private entrance are another highlight of this space.

The Studio, an old artist’s work-shop is one of the most flexible spaces the ICA has to offer. As an old artist’s workshop, the space is robust and can be used for all kinds of events.

In the past it has been used for creative seminars, group meetings and lunches. It can work really well in conjunction with the Cinema as a space for catering.
