Whitehall has long been a landmark destination in London, famed for its parliamentary buildings, offices and The Cenotaph. At the end of this year, there'll be another reason to head to Whitehall when London's very first Raffles Hotel opens its doors. Located in the Old War Office, this famous hotel group has long been the epitome of luxury and glamour, it promises to bring an oasis of calm and charm to what was the war office of Winston Churchill. Raffles isn't the only hotel opening in and around the capital this year. From Soho to Windsor Park, there's a good number of new hotels scheduled for opening, including a 'whole life net zero' property in Chiswick and a former recording studio where the Rolling Stones made their first album.

With so much history and heritage, hosting an event in a London landmark building is an exciting prospect for event organisers. Inspiring delegates with a property's back story brings an added element of interest and can turn an ordinary meeting into a memorable event. Bush Hall in White City is one such place. From a soup kitchen during WWII, bingo in the 60s, snooker in the 80s to the turn of the millennium when it returned to its music venue roots and established itself as the place to perform just before making it big! Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Kings of Leon, and Florence and the Machine played Bush Hall before making the step up to the Hammersmith Apollo, winning Brits or embarking on tours. It's also become the favoured joint for secret intimate fan gigs hosted by The Killers and back in the day, REM.

The former stretch of marshland on the south bank of the Thames was the backdrop to duels, including a famous pistols-at-dawn showdown between the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Winchilsea. It hosted the first exhibition football match played under Football Association rules and during WWII, air raid shelters were installed and the park was turned over to allotments and a pig farm to support the war effort. More recently, Battersea Park has featured in films and music videos, including One Direction, Mr Bean and The Muppets! Evolution London has the benefit of an experienced technical team to help bring an idea to life and with award-winning catering too, events evolve into an impactful production in the park.
