About Us:
Put our venues centre stage – and your career too.
At the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we are focused on putting our residents and local businesses at the heart of every service we provide, and the impressive range of events that our team manages, plays a considerable role in generating the essential income we need to support them.
Our prestigious and historic venues, include the Orangery Gallery in Holland Park, Kensington Town Hall and Chelsea Old Town Hall, where we host everything from conferences and weddings, through to high profile product launches, film shoots and a range of all-inclusive community driven events.
