BMA House has commenced a year-long commemoration of its 100th anniversary as the headquarters of The British Medical Association.
In 1925, the BMA relocated from 429 The Strand to the iconic BMA House in Tavistock Square, a building rich in character and history in the heart of Bloomsbury, London.
Originally designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911, BMA House was intended for the Theosophical Society.
However, after serving as the Ministry of Munitions during World War I, the BMA acquired the unfinished building in 1923 and officially opened it as their headquarters in 1925.
Over the past century, BMA House has evolved beyond its role as the heart of the BMA.
BMA House offers 22 unique spaces, including a botanical garden and a beautiful courtyard for conferences and events.
In recent years, BMA House has made strides toward sustainability by implementing environmentally friendly practices and prioritising sustainable operations, the venue has become a leader in green events.
To mark this milestone, the BMA has planned a series of commemorative events during the year, honouring the heritage of BMA House and its significance to both the medical community and the broader public.
