Testimonials
"I was enormously fortunate to be able to present my Couture Collection "Lo Spirito Dei Medici" at the Draycott Group's beautifully designed complex in Chelsea. So many people at the event commented on how exciting, refreshing and indeed convenient the space was. To stage such an event is a huge challenge, but the adaptability of the Conference Centre, and the flexibility of Draycott's extraordinary team, who welcomed my people so openly and warmly ensured an unforgettable evening, and more pointedly, a satisfyingly robust commercial success."

"I recently gave a performance of An Audience with Lynda Bellingham at the premises of Draycott Nursing. It was probably not their usual event but it was the perfect venue. The offices are really very special and perfectly placed in the heart of Chelsea right on the King’s Road with its bustling life and shopping facilities. The space or conference rooms are on the third floor and are spacious and beautifully maintained. Light and airy with all the necessary accoutrements, such as screens and audio equipment. All the staff are smart and efficient and eager to help. It was a very enjoyable experience all round."

"It is very difficult to find an exhibition space in central London that has all the amenities that you need and is in the right location. But I have found it in the Draycott Education Centre which I have used twice for jewellery exhibitions. It is the most fantastic location, just off the Kings Road and the most brilliant space. The exhibition room is both light and airy and can be set up with projector screen and music. There is a kitchen which can be used for canapés and drinks and a separate conference room which can be used as a dining room. I love this venue as the staff are so friendly and accommodating. All my clients comment on the great location and fabulous atmosphere that the rooms provide. There is also a lift for easy loading and unloading. I would definitely recommend this venue as one that is accommodating, has a great atmosphere and is fashionably situated."

"Silt Coop exhibited their show Storyteller at Draycott Group in October 2010. Artists Charlotte Andrew, Richard Rawles and Felicity Swan worked together using part of the Conference Room and the Board Room – very generously given over for the duration of the show – which gave us the versatility and scope needed to create a cohesive exhibition space. We were able to create an installation in both rooms, which was amazing since it is a very corporate space. Everyone was incredibly helpful, especially Paula Dagger, who made our path so much easier and who was there on the first night to make sure the opening ran smoothly. It was she who liaised with Oddbins and received visitors during the week, as well as guiding us over what was technically available and manageable. It was a great experience."
