Room hire and public spaces

Our London office is called the Human Rights Action Centre. As well as being the base for our UK work, it’s a space for our activists and the wider human rights community to meet and work. Our building is an inspirational, practical and affordable space for people to come together to learn about, debate and campaign on human rights issues.

The Human Rights Action Centre is open to the public and we have a range of spaces available to hire.

Accommodating up to 250 guests, the rooms can be used in conjunction with each other or booked separately – ideal for corporate events, conferences, film screenings, exhibitions and receptions.
