The Woolf Room at 34 Bloomsbury

Room hire starts at £2,200+VAT for a 10-hour hire of individual rooms like the Woolf Room and Evelyn Room. Exclusive hire of the entire venue is £4,400+VAT per day (10-hour hire), with discounts available for multiple day bookings - for example, 4-week bookings receive a 15% discount. Saturday hire starts at £5,000+VAT plus mandatory cleaning and security fees.

Post-event cleaning fee is £250+VAT per clean, and furniture wear & tear fee is £200+VAT. Security is mandatory for Saturday hires at an additional cost. Extra hours beyond the 10-hour day rate incur £150+VAT per hour, and a late night licence costs £120+VAT if applicable.

The Ground Floor accommodates up to 75 standing guests, while conference-style seating is limited to 50 people maximum. For exclusive hire, the venue can accommodate up to 110 guests at any one time across all four rooms. Individual rooms like the Woolf Room are designed for up to 10 guests in meeting format.

34 Bloomsbury operates as a dry hire venue and does not provide catering services in-house, though they can connect you with preferred suppliers including Pomelo. The Otto & Morrell Rooms are offered unfurnished, while the Woolf Room includes boardroom furniture and the Evelyn Room has lounge-style furniture - fees apply if you want furniture removed and reinstalled.

Exclusive hire includes all four rooms (Otto Room, Morrell Room, Woolf Room, and Evelyn Room) across two floors, plus access to one back-of-house room in the basement for storage and/or catering. All rooms include complimentary Wi-Fi and built-in SONOS sound system, with the Woolf Room featuring a TV screen and video conferencing capabilities.

Standard hire is based on a 10-hour day, with a 5-hour day rate also available if needed. Events typically run during daytime hours, with evening access possible for certain events. Extra hours beyond the standard hire period are charged at £150+VAT per hour.

The venue may not be suitable for events requiring very large capacities (over 110 guests), extensive production setup, or those with very limited budgets - starting prices begin around £2,200+VAT for smaller room hires. The venue operates as dry hire only, so events requiring full-service catering packages may need to arrange external suppliers.

Availability varies significantly by date, with some dates booking up well in advance. The venue team responds to enquiries with availability confirmation and detailed quotes including all applicable fees. For popular dates or exclusive hire requirements, early booking is recommended as the venue may decline bookings that don't meet their minimum spend requirements.
