BAFTA 195 Piccadilly is closed for a major renovation project, with a completion date projected for the end of 2021,
195 Piccadilly is the headquarters of BAFTA, a resplendent building from the 1830s to house the galleries of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. Distinctive corporate, entertaining and events spaces include: the David Lean Room and adjacent Foyer Bar, which provide 5,000 square feet of exhibition space with natural daylight and impressive views of Piccadilly, St James' Church and historic Jermyn Street; the semi-private glass walled space of The Gallery. The Princess Anne Theatre sits at the heart of the building and is London's largest private screening room with seating for 227. 195 Piccadilly is also the private club for Academy members.
