The Business Design Centre (BDC) is a historic building that dates to 1862 when it was originally built as the agricultural hall in London.

It was intended to accommodate the Smithfield Cattle Club Show. This venue has a grand indoor space that’s covered with a single span roof which was proven to be the ideal venue for major agricultural exhibitions. As years went by, it held different events that it earned a prestigious “royal" title and made the Royal Agricultural Hall an early destination for events in London.

As of today, the Business Design Centre continues to be a historical venue that invite different exhibitions, conferences and design focused events such as the Workspace Design Show .
