Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Conference centre in City of Westminster, London, United Kingdom

The Queen Elizabeth II Centre is a government-owned conference facility in the City of Westminster, London, close to the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. It offers 32 flexible rooms and 2,000 square metres (22,000 square feet) of exhibition space, hosting events for up to 1,300 delegates.

The site once held the Stationery Office and Westminster Hospital, which were demolished in the 1950s. After years of delays, construction of the conference centre began in 1981 and it was opened by the Queen in 1986.

The centre's name honours Queen Elizabeth II, who opened it in 1986. Its position near Parliament makes it a backdrop for political interviews and news reports, and the surrounding streets often hum with media activity during major events.

The main entrance is on Broad Sanctuary, a short walk from Westminster and St James's Park tube stations. The building has step-free access and lifts to all floors, making it easy to navigate for visitors with mobility needs.

The centre is owned by the government and returns an annual dividend to the Exchequer, so it does not rely on taxpayers' money. It hosts over 400 meetings each year, yet many passers-by mistake it for a government office.
