Venue Hire

Surround yourself with the very best of British Cartoon Art

In the heart of Fitzrovia, a short distance from Soho and Oxford Circus, The Cartoon Museum provides a unique backdrop for exclusive entertaining. Give your guests a private view of 250 years of the nation’s favourite original cartoons, caricatures and comics.

This rare venue is available for exclusive private hire and we welcome a range of events such as meetings, workshops, cocktail parties, receptions, dinners, launches, filming and photoshoots.

  • Main Gallery Space

    The two main galleries provide a space full of nooks and crannies, perfect for drinks and canape receptions.

    The temporary exhibition changes every six months, and there is a permanent display that tells the story of the cartoon artform from the 18th century to the present day. The artwork includes William Hogarth, Ronald Searle, Steve Bell and many more.
