With flexible layouts in both spaces and a choice of suppliers available, you can work with your event manager to tailor your event to fit your needs. Our West London venue offers tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of the city, overlooking the beautiful Grand Union Canal.Another perk of hiring our beautiful space is that all income generated through events at Grand Junction goes back into the community and education work of the charity Paddington Development Trust, who operate the venue.
