The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre is in the City of Westminster, London, close to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The centre was designed by Powell Moya & Partners and constructed by Bovis Construction with work starting in 1981; it was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1986. The centre is owned by HM Government and its operation is conducted by an executive agency of the Department for Communities and Local Government. It has four main auditoria, seven conference rooms and many smaller rooms. It specialises in events for between 40 and 1,300 delegates. It also has 2,000 square metres of exhibition space. The centre is a very successful venue hosting over 400 meetings each year and returning an annual dividend to the Exchequer, thus not reliant on the taxpayer for financial support.
