What are the exact pricing structures for the Business space meeting rooms?

The Business space offers 18 ground floor meeting rooms with flexible pricing based on room size and capacity. Day delegate rates (DDR) for meetings and conferences start from £80-£106.80 per person excluding VAT, which includes room hire from 8:00am-5:00pm, refreshment breaks with organic teas and ethically sourced coffee, and filtered water. Individual room hire rates vary by capacity, with smaller rooms for 2-20 people available at different price points.

What are the capacity limits for different meeting room configurations?

The Business space meeting rooms accommodate from 2 people for interviews up to 88 people for seminars and networking events. Boardroom setups handle up to 20 people, training or exam rooms accommodate up to 50 people, while the largest rooms can host seminars or networking events for 88 attendees. All rooms offer flexible layouts including theatre, classroom, cabaret, and boardroom styles.

What AV equipment is included and what are the additional costs?

All Business space rooms include integrated AV equipment with LCD screens or projectors, ClickShare technology, lapel microphones, video conferencing capabilities, and 1gbps complimentary Wi-Fi. An AV technician is required at £525-£630 per day excluding VAT for 10-hour coverage. Additional equipment like stages (£475 + VAT) or upgraded sound systems may incur extra charges.

What catering options are available and what are the minimum requirements?

Catering includes day delegate packages with chef's choice sandwiches and finger food, plus three refreshment breaks with organic teas, coffee, and pastries. Hot and cold buffet lunch upgrades cost £10-£12.60 per person. Minimum catering spends vary by room and event size, with some packages requiring minimum delegate numbers to qualify for package rates.

How far in advance must bookings be confirmed and what are the payment terms?

For events with short notice (within one week), signed contracts are required by 12:00pm the day before to allow adequate planning time. Full payment is required prior to events with very short lead times. Standard bookings follow different timelines, but urgent bookings have accelerated contract and payment requirements to secure the space.

What are the operating hours and setup/breakdown time allowances?

The Business space operates with day periods from 8:00am-5:00pm and evening periods from 6:00pm-11:00pm. Cross-period bookings (spanning both day and evening) incur higher charges as they include the 5:00pm-6:00pm turnaround time needed by operations teams. Setup and breakdown times must be factored into your booking period.

Are there soundproofing capabilities between meeting rooms?

The venue offers 18 contemporary meeting rooms, though specific soundproofing details aren't explicitly confirmed in available information. For events requiring guaranteed sound isolation between rooms (such as simultaneous training sessions or confidential meetings), this requirement should be verified directly with the venue during the booking process.

What booking hold options are available and how long do they last?

Event spaces can be held on 'first option' or 'joint first option' basis while clients make decisions. The venue releases enquiries that don't receive responses within their standard timeframe. For urgent bookings or popular dates, holds may be shorter, and clients are contacted for feedback within a few days of receiving proposals.

What additional services and facilities are included in the Business space?

The Business space includes air conditioning, climate control, natural daylight in all rooms, whiteboards, toilets, and technical support. Rooms are located on the ground floor for easy access and are only minutes from Euston and King's Cross stations. The venue also provides access to printers and maintains high sustainability credentials.

Are there any restrictions on external suppliers or specific venue policies?

The venue has an ethical policy that applies to all bookings. For entertainment services like DJs, the venue can arrange suppliers with a 20% service charge, or clients may hire external suppliers directly. All external arrangements should be discussed during the booking process to ensure compliance with venue policies and technical requirements.
