Business dinner · June 2026
Business dinner photographer at the CBI National Business Dinner
We photographed the CBI National Business Dinner on 4 June 2026, at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London. CBI Chair Cressida Hogg and Chief Executive Rain Newton-Smith hosted, and Lloyds was the strategic partner.















The dinner's theme, shown on the arch at the entrance, was Where business meets politics.
The CBI was formed in 1965 by royal charter and says it represents 190,000 businesses.
The evening began with a drinks reception, then moved into the ballroom for dinner.
We covered the reception, the ballroom, each speech from the lectern, an on-stage conversation and guests at their tables.
8 Northumberland Avenue opened in 1887 as the Hotel Victoria. Its ballroom is one of the grandest Victorian hotel interiors left in London. The building was used by government from 1939 and reopened as an events venue in 2009.
