About this space

Gallery 2 is the historic central reading room of the former Whitechapel Library. This Space retains its original Victorian exposed brickwork and polished concrete floor, and these beautiful surroundings make it one of the most amazing venues and backdrops for a number of events.

When it comes to unique venues in London, this Space cannot be beaten. It works perfectly as a backdrop for conferences, product launches, as well as dinners and evening receptions.

This space is the perfect canvas to create your event alongside the latest Whitechapel Gallery commission by a leading artist.

The space is based on a dry hire but there are catering options available in the space.

Founded over 120 years ago with a mission to ‘bring great art to the people of East London’, the Whitechapel Gallery’s beautiful historic building now houses nine galleries, a restaurant, an auditorium, and two studio spaces dedicated to education and research.

When you walk through our doors you follow the footsteps of modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Frida Kahlo to pioneering contemporaries such as Zarina Bhimji, Sophie Calle, Theaster Gates, Emily Jacir and Michael Rakowitz, all of whom premiered at the Whitechapel Gallery.

We are pleased to open up our versatile spaces to those looking for a unique setting for their away day, evening reception or hybrid event under the expert guidance of our dedicated event planner.

By choosing the Whitechapel Gallery for your event you are directly supporting the internationally-recognised work of the Gallery and helping us to enrich the lives of more people through access to contemporary art.
