Lawrence Hall is a beautiful grand art deco building with original features including a vaulted ceiling and Edwardian turnstiles. It was constructed between 1925 and 1928 and was designed by the partnership of Easton and Robertson. The building's name relates to Trevor Lawrence, president of the Royal Horticultural Society [RHS] from 1885 to 1913 who was chiefly responsible for moving the Society from its expensive Kensington site to a more practical home in Westminster in 1904. It was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects for its dramatic architecture. Lawrence Hall and the conference centre underwent a £1.2 million renovation in 2006. Although built as an exhibition hall, Lawrence Hall has been increasingly used for product launches, filming and conferences. It also doubles up as Westminster School’s sports centre. In December 2011, Westminster School leased the Hall from the RHS for a period of 999 years. Over the years, Lawrence Hall been used extensively as a filming location for Pink Floyd - The Wall, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Richard III, The Saint, Killing Eve, and Children of Men.
