The Invention Rooms Café

The Invention Rooms Café is open to everyone – it’s a warm and welcoming space where you can grab a coffee, catch up with friends or do some work.

We have bookable meeting rooms, a café with complimentary hot drinks for your visit, a range of catering options for events, and a community garden with outside seating with free WiFi throughout. The Café is a space for collaboration and innovation, serving both the community and the wider college. 

Opening Hours

We are committed to ensuring that we are a safe place to work, study and visit. Given the challenging situation in relation to COVID-19, we have decided to postpone our face-to-face engagement activities at The Invention Rooms and in the local area until further notice. This Autumn we will start to host some of our own programming in a controlled way and hope to be able to invite external bookers from early 2021.

Find out more about our upcoming events on our Eventbrite page or sign up to our mailing list to receive regular updates.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, for more information, please contact whitecity.community@imperial.ac.uk

Upon re-opening, times of operation will be confirmed.

During the university holidays the cafe is closed for general access. Outside of operational hours, the café and its meeting rooms can be booked on special request.
