Savoy Place upgrade

The home of our Institution, IET London: Savoy Place is a building of character and history. While it currently provides a high-quality venue for both the IET’s activities and external clients, our Board of Trustees has identified an opportunity to substantially improve its layout, functionality and infrastructure – to not only provide a modern home for the IET over the coming decades, but also to preserve the building’s important heritage.
