US-based global hospitality company Convene Hospitality Group (CHG) has announced a new premium event and meeting venue in London’s West End. Convene will operate a 5,000sqm space at One Rathbone Square, scheduled to debut in Spring 2027 as Convene Rathbone.

Designed by architect Frank Gehry and Make Architects, One Rathbone Square occupies a centrally located address, a one-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road Station and, via the Elizabeth line, offering international business travellers a direct, single-line connection to London Heathrow Airport.

“The West End is an iconic neighbourhood and prominent commercial hub for Marylebone, Soho and King’s Cross, bringing together creative minds across West London’s tech, media, fashion, and entertainment sectors,” said Niamh Martin, CHG’s UK managing director.

“With Convene Rathbone, we’re creating a next-generation venue designed for immersive storytelling, high-impact events, and meaningful human connection. By combining hospitality-driven experiences with flexible design and modern production technology, we’re delivering a space that empowers brands and businesses to engage global audiences in unforgettable ways.”

When complete, Convene Rathbone will offer state-of-the-art production capabilities such as 180-degree projection mapping, street-facing LED walls, and a dedicated rigging system.

The venue’s prime West End location has a dedicated street entrance off Oxford Street.

There will also be a dedicated on-site hospitality team providing full-service event production resources. In-house catering managed by award-winning chefs focused on nutrition, sustainability, and local flavour.

Convene Rathbone joins Convene spaces at Sancroft, 200 Aldersgate, 22 Bishopsgate, 155 Bishopsgate and 133 Houndsditch in London. CHG is now the largest single provider of premium meeting and event venues in the US and UK, with a network of nearly 40 venues across its growing portfolio of brands including Convene, etc.venues, NeueHouse and special event spaces. CBRE and Gowling WLG acted for CHG.
