The Business space can accommodate 10-25 people in various layouts including theatre, cabaret, and meeting room configurations. For larger events, other spaces are available with capacities up to 410 theatre style or 500+ for plenary sessions. The venue can handle events from small meetings to conferences of 1,500+ attendees across multiple rooms.

Standard operating hours are 08:00-18:00, with technician support typically provided from 08:00-17:30 with 30-minute breaks. The venue is closed during August and unavailable for bookings during this period. Events can run outside standard hours but may incur additional costs for extended technician support and security.

All rooms include comprehensive AV packages with motorised projection screens (16:9), WUXGA high-definition projectors, sound systems with multiple microphones (wired lectern, top table, and radio handheld options), induction loops, PC sound, and dedicated technician support. Larger spaces include additional equipment like digital recording, cue lights, and talk-back headsets.

Bookings are offered on a 1st option basis initially, and no booking is confirmed until contracts are signed by both parties and deposits are paid. The venue requires company information and budget details before providing detailed quotes. All correspondence is subject to contract until formal agreements are executed.

The venue offers in-house catering through QEII Taste by Leith's, with options ranging from breakfast and coffee breaks to full DDR (delegate day rate) packages including lunch and refreshments. Catering costs are quoted separately from room hire. The venue appears flexible on external catering arrangements, though specific policies are not detailed in available information.

VAT at 20% is added to all quoted prices. While security, porterage, cleaning, Wi-Fi, furniture, and basic event management are included, extended hours, additional AV requirements, catering, and specialized services will incur extra charges. Deposits are required to confirm bookings, though specific amounts are not specified.

Located on the fifth floor, the Business space provides exceptional views of Westminster including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the London Eye, and the Shard. It features natural daylight and is fully accessible. The space can be used independently or as part of larger conferences, making it ideal for high-impact meetings and corporate events with an impressive London backdrop.

If requested dates are unavailable due to existing bookings or whole centre events, the venue sales team will work to find alternative dates or suggest other suitable venues. The venue appears to have high demand with frequent date conflicts, so flexibility with dates is recommended for successful bookings.

Each event includes a dedicated QEII Delivery Team comprising an Event Manager, AV Project Manager, and QEII Taste Manager. Technician support is provided during standard hours, along with security, porterage, and cleaning services. A manned cloakroom and registration area with desks are also included in the venue hire package.
