Located in the heart of London’s Tavistock Square, BMA House is a prestigious venue that provides an inspiring setting for the Meningitis Research Foundation Conference 2025. This stunning Grade II listed building, designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911, has been home to the British Medical Association (BMA) since 1925, making it a landmark for the medical and scientific community.

Recently updated with state-of-the-art AV facilities, BMA House seamlessly blends history and modernity, creating the perfect environment for discussion, learning, and collaboration. In addition to its elegant interior spaces, it boasts two exceptional outdoor areas: an impressive courtyard and a botanical Garden, a rare gem in such a central location.

As one of the most sustainable venues in London, BMA House has long recognised the importance of sustainability and how their actions impact those we serve as well as wider society. You can visit here their Sustainable Events Guide. 

Moreover, the venue provides accessible spaces for all guests. All areas at BMA House where the conference will take place—the Great Hall, Lutyens Suite, and Courtyard Suite—are fully accessible. To view the BMA House accessibility guide, follow this link.
