More about Meeting Rooms Venues in London

What is a meeting room?

A meeting room is simply a room or space in which people come together to discuss topics, solve issues, discuss business objectives, set targets… it could be anything! The beauty of a meeting room is that you can usually hire them by the hour, which is why they are most commonly used by businesses and teams.

There are a huge number of meeting rooms of all different shapes and sizes in London. You may desire a formal, high-end space for a client meeting or small conference such as at the Council Room at One Birdcage Walk. Or you may prefer a more unique, creative space such as Anomalous Space or Lumiere Underwood. Whatever space you’re looking for, you’re sure to find something to fit your style and objectives.

Why should I hire a meeting room?

Do you:

• Want some privacy for an important discussion eg interviews, disciplinary meetings, business plans, discussions around sensitive company information?
• Want to create a sense of occasion in an environment with elegant furniture and state-of-the-art technology?
• Need a quiet space to meet with your team?
• Need a professional, objective setting to meet with clients or stakeholders?

Then book a meeting room! One thing we’ve learnt during the pandemic is that the power of face-to-face communication can not be underestimated. Having spent the last two years on Zoom, it’s no surprise that meeting rooms are in high demand and many businesses aim to get together in-person (whether that’s with clients or employees) at least once a week if possible.

Thanks to the pandemic, many companies no longer work from offices full time, so find themselves needing spaces in which they can meet up. Being together face to face inspires creative thinking, allows for more clear and open conversation, and also helps reintegrate ‘water cooler’ moments back into our lives, rebuilding colleague relationships that may have suffered due to working virtually for the most part.

As mentioned above, there are many uses for meeting rooms, and it’s really up to you what you do with the space. It largely depends on your objectives, as these will determine the style of meeting room you need.

For example, maybe you’d like a space for a morning catch-up with your team (perhaps with some coffee and pastries), a professional backdrop to invite key clients or stakeholders, an unusual space to bring your team together for an away day to set company objectives, an inspiring meeting room for brainstorming and strategising… the list is truly endless.

The best part? Meeting rooms are usually pretty well-priced, and often include everything you need to create a productive atmosphere for your meeting. You could even find a venue that caters for post-meeting networking!

How do I make my meeting hybrid?

Whilst many people prefer in-person meetings, there are of course times where this is simply not possible. Some people may not be able (or feel comfortable) to attend in person due to many factors, so it’s a good idea to make it hybrid by adding an option for virtual attendees.

This can be as simple as connecting a laptop to a large screen in the room and then connecting to a video conferencing tool such as Zoom. That way, all participants can see each other and join in the conversation. For this, you’ll need to make sure the space has good lighting and, more importantly, excellent Internet connectivity. Patchy internet won’t make for a good experience for your virtual attendees. Most meeting rooms come with a screen, HDMI cable, projector, speakers, webcam and other tech capabilities to allow for this hybrid meeting experience, but you’ll need to check with the venue exactly what is included in the hire cost.

To find out more about how to create a fantastic hybrid experience, check out our Ultimate Guide To Hybrid Events.

What makes a great meeting room in London?

When looking for a great meeting room, there are certain things you should keep an eye out for. Here’s a list of things to consider:

1. Is it in a good location near public transport?

2. Does it have enough space for all your attendees? This should be the number one thing to consider. And not just whether there are enough seats - it should be spacious and airy, not feel cramped. This is why it’s imperative that you conduct a site visit ahead of your meeting. Also ask the venue whether they can arrange the room in different ways to suit your needs.

3. Do they offer a DDR package? This stands for Delegate Day Rate and means that you pay a certain amount per head. This is often a cheaper way of hiring a meeting space because you usually get other things included. A typical DDR package includes; room hire, wifi, basic stationary, use of the room’s tech facilities such as projector, screen and flip chart, A/C, water, tea and coffee, pastries/sweets, and breakfast and/or lunch depending on your timings. If the meeting is taking place in a hotel, you can even book a DDR package which includes dinner and accommodation too. Talk to the venue to discuss what’s included, as it can slightly differ.

4. Is the meeting room accessible? This is so important to be aware of. You can read more about accessibility at events from our stage at International Confex 2022. Asia House is a great example of a meeting venue that provides total accessibility, with a convenient central location and wheelchair access throughout.

5. A final thing to consider is that a meeting room doesn’t just need to be in a corporate, dedicated events space. It could be a hotel, rooftop, restaurant, museum, even a fun games venue!

There are plenty of unique meeting rooms all over London, you just need to look for them! As long as it has the bare bones of what you’re looking for, it could be a fun and unique change of scenery for your average meeting.

How much does it cost to hire a meeting room in London?

If you're looking to hire a meeting room in London, the average cost will depend on a number of factors, including the size and location of the room, the amenities required, and the length of time you need it for.

Generally speaking, meeting rooms in London start at around £50 per hour, with larger and more luxurious rooms costing more. However, it's also possible to find meeting rooms for less if you're willing to negotiate or are willing to compromise on some of the features you need.

We always recommend hiring meeting rooms with DDR packages where possible, as this can help keep costs down and ensure you’re only paying for what you use. An average DDR package in London is between £60-80 per person per day. This would usually include morning tea/coffee/pastries, lunch, stationary, room equipment, room hire, water, air conditioning and wifi, but they vary depending on your needs and the venue’s offering.

Take the time to do your research and make sure to get in touch with Hire Space to find the perfect meeting room for your budget.

Top tips for planning an engaging meeting

Anyone who has ever attended a long, dry meeting knows that engagement is key to a successful gathering. Here are a few key things to keep in mind. First and foremost (and it might seem obvious), is to consider the venue. A quirky or unique space can be a great way to get people out of their usual mindset and into a more creative headspace. Make sure the space is comfortable and conducive to productive discussion. If you're meeting in a stuffy room with poor ventilation, it's going to be tough to keep everyone focused.

Likewise, offering healthy refreshments like smoothie stations or running wellness sessions like meditation and yoga can help boost energy and engagement. When it comes to food, healthy options are always a good idea - this will help keep your attendees energised for the whole day.

During the meeting itself, breaks are critical - no one wants to sit through hours of PowerPoint presentations and making your attendees restless can do more harm than good. Mix up the format with group exercises, teambuilding sessions, breakout sessions, and other interactive activities.

Don't forget about networking drinks afterwards - it's a great way for the team to let their hair down and bond with each other outside of a ‘work’ environment. You could even bring in some entertainment to really wrap up the day with a bang!
