Make Your Next Away Day An Experience To Remember

Your team deserves more than another meeting room and a lunch break. London's packed with venues that can turn your away day into something memorable, from Olympic velodromes where records were broken to Georgian townhouses with pitch views and rooftop spaces that overlook the city skyline. These are the spots that'll get people talking long after you're back at the desk.

Dartmouth House proves that away days don't need to feel corporate. This Grade II listed mansion in Mayfair brings Georgian grandeur to your team sessions without the stuffiness of a traditional conference space.

You can run morning workshops in the Churchill Room (with its Louis XIV walnut panelling) then shift to the French-inspired courtyard for lunch and informal breakout time.

Green Park tube is on your doorstep, making it easy for teams coming from across London. The interconnecting rooms let you break into smaller groups without losing that cohesive feel, and the distinctive setting gives the day a sense of occasion that sticks with people. It's the kind of space that sparks better conversations than a hotel function room ever could.
