A great background goes a long way in injecting some inspiration into meetings, and luckily London's got plenty of beautiful backdrops to animate in-person boardroom discussions.
We've scoured our listings for the very best London meeting rooms that brighten up any dry meeting and have come up with a list of five truly special spaces. Read on for our top picks to help banish boredom from the boardroom!
1. Wallacespace Spitalfields
Bright, airy, and powered by green energy, Wallacespace Spitalfield's quirky environment is the ideal setting for a relaxed brainstorming session. Offering several welcoming spaces to host your meeting, including a rooftop kitchen (with a balcony) flooded with natural light, this is the definition of adding some fresh air to your boardroom sessions!
Wallacespace is also hot on a mission to incorporate sustainability into everything they do, including sending zero waste to landfills and using local food in their menus.
Location: Spitalfields
Capacity: 30 boardroom; 200 theatre
2. RSA House
If you're after something grand and historic - but still fully equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for - RSA House is an excellent option. With a range of versatile, beautifully decorated spaces accommodating from 12 to 180 attendees, it's the perfect blend of practical and impressive.
Inspire your guests in the stunning Great Room, with its stage and incredible panoramic mural (the room can also be blacked out for presentations), opt for a sophisticated session in one of the venue's several dedicated meeting rooms - or really give your guests something to remember by staging your meeting in the Durham Street Auditorium, surrounded by Grade-II listed vaults.
Location: Charing Cross
Capacity: 180 theatres; 60 boardroom
3. 1 Wimpole Street
At just a few minutes walk from both Oxford Circus and Bond Street stations, 1 Wimpole Street is ideally situated for attendees coming from all over London (and beyond). With 15 exceptional event spaces, ranging from 300-capacity auditoriums to intimate, private meeting rooms for 12 or fewer guests, it plays host to some of the most comfortable and well-appointed facilities around. Plus, with an award-winning in-house AV team, you're in safe hands for a smooth, sleek, and highly professional meeting here.
Location: Oxford Circus
Capacity: 40-300 theatre; 22 boardroom
4. The Oyster Shed
The Oyster Shed has the joint benefit of being spectacularly designed in its own right and being situated a stone's throw from the Thames, right in the heart of London. The rooms are elegantly decorated with wooden furniture, and filled with light (thanks to a floor-to-ceiling window), while a flatscreen TV and professional sound equipment make hosting your meeting here a breeze.
But the best part of this venue might just be its unique view of the Thames and Shard beyond - how often do you get to experience a vista like this in the office?? There's also a restaurant downstairs that's ideal for socialising with colleagues after you've wrapped up business for the day.
Location: Monument
Capacity: 20 boardroom
5. The Zetter Townhouse
Gloriously eccentric, the Zetter Townhouse is a breath of fresh air for anyone tiring of stuffy hotel boardrooms. Stuffed with treasures from a previous owner's travels around the world, this quirky house lends itself perfectly to inspiring attendees at meetings (especially with that beautiful pedestal table at the centre of things!). Plus, with a games room and cocktail lounge in the same building, this is one meeting delegates are never going to want to leave!
Location: Clerkenwell
Capacity: 22 boardroom; 50 theatre
