The Venue

The 2025 Go Global Awards will be hosted in none other than One Great George Street, Westminster—a venue that truly earns its reputation as a palace in the heart of London. If you’ve ever dreamt of attending an event surrounded by both grandeur and history, this is your invitation.
 

Royal Architecture

Rising proudly just moments from the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and St James’s Park, One Great George Street is far more than a mere palace. This Grade II listed, four-domed Edwardian masterpiece is an architectural marvel, exuding a rare sense of occasion the moment you step through its doors.
 

The centrepiece, The Great Hall, is breathtaking. Imagine more than 370 square metres of space, crowned by a ceiling that soars over 13 metres high. Marbled columns, gold leaf details, and ornate plasterwork set the scene, while an immaculate oak floor leads your gaze upward to two immense crystal chandeliers. Seven grand, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the hall with natural daylight, inviting glimpses from passers-by who can’t help but admire the spectacular interior.
 

Few venues can claim a history as rich as this. The Great Hall was part of the original 1904 plans for the building, conceived to rival the grandest gathering rooms of London’s legal and historic societies. Its dazzling painted ceiling and chandeliers, donated by a past president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, serve as both artistic centrepieces and reminders of the Institution’s pivotal role in world events, including the First World War.

 
But it’s not only the past that shines here. Over the decades, the Great Hall has played host to extraordinary occasions. UNESCO’s founding charter was signed in this very room in 1945. King Charles III, as a young man, sat for his Royal Navy examinations beneath these very chandeliers. Movie fans might recognize the setting from films like “Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason” and “Starter for 10.” During the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the hall buzzed as the communications hub for the London Media Centre, welcoming journalists from around the globe. Even the world of fashion has graced its floors, with iconic collections from L’Wren Scott, Alice Temperly, and Antonio Berardi unveiled against this unique backdrop.

The Perfect Setting for Celebration

Whether you’re walking beneath the chandeliers, gazing up at the painted ceiling, or mingling in the glow of natural daylight, it’s impossible not to feel the significance of this setting. Every element of One Great George Street whispers history, prestige, and celebration.
