Best corporate event venues in London

In the corporate world, location plays an integral part in the successes and failures of corporate events. The ideal venue should be aesthetically pleasing to your guests and have the necessary facilities to make your corporate event a success.

For corporate event planners and business owners across Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, consider London for your upcoming corporate event. From industry training conferences to a seasonal party with colleagues, London has a vast range of venues to suit your corporate needs. It is also easily accessible via M1, M2, M4 and M25 from the areas we service.

To make your search easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best corporate event venues London has to offer.

1. Fulham Palace (South West London)
Built around the time of Henry VII’s reign over 500 years ago, this historic building is a popular venue for corporate events. For a small venue pleasantly lit with natural light, consider the gorgeous Corporate Meeting Space (up to 100 guests). For events with an extensive guest list The Great Hall (up to 150 guests) is perfect and even offers a fireplace and a Steinway grand piano.

2. One Moorgate Place (Central London)
Continuing with the theme of historic venues, One Moorgate Place is a stunning grade-II listed building in Central London. Like Fulham Palace, it also offers a wide array of rooms where contemporary meets historical elegance. One Moorgate Place can host up to 600 guests, but the largest room is the Great Hall (up to 325 guests) which is well-suited to large industry conferences, presentations and dinner-dance events.

3. Moors Bar/ Theatre (North London)
Moving away from the extravagant to the casual, The Moors Bar/ Theatre (up to 80 guests) is a terrific place for creative businesses organising social events for colleagues or clients. This artistic venue offers a laid-back experience that makes it great for informal corporate events. Arrange for a reliable minibus or coach hire service to get guests to and from the bar. After drinking some of the delicious cocktails Moors Bar has to offer, guests will appreciate the comfortable, private transport we offer.

4. The White Collar Factory (Central London)
Offering an array of stylishly simple meeting rooms, the White Collar Factory sits in the middle of the technological area of the city. The building features a rooftop garden area which is surrounded by a 150m running track. Billed as the future of workspaces, and built with the environment in mind, there are a total of 8 rooms to hire. Meeting Rooms 6 & 7 (up to 32 guests) can be utilised together to allow for the largest capacity, making it well suited as a relaxed meeting area or as a venue to host a small presentation.

5. 30 Euston Square (North West London)
30 Euston Square also offers a beautiful rooftop terrace and a unique interior that has seen it become one of the most popular corporate venues in all of London. It provides a variety of corporate spaces, meeting rooms, a cafe, an auditorium and even 41 boutique bedrooms for guests requiring overnight accommodation. The State Rooms & Rooftop Terrace (up to 230 guests) combination is a popular package and offers the perfect location for both day and night-time corporate events.

6. Wallace Collection (West London)
The Wallace Collection houses a stunning collection of fine and decorative art pieces from as far back as 600 years ago – including 18th-century French paintings, porcelain and furniture. The glamorous surroundings make it a perfect corporate venue for those looking to entertain guests. While it can host up to 400 for a reception, The Meeting Room (up to 20 guests) is particularly well-sized and well-suited to presentations and boardroom meetings.

7. Museum of Brands (West London)
For something a little more informal but just as impressive, consider the quirky Museum of Brands by Notting Hill. It explores the history of consumer culture by displaying over 15,000 forgotten items and older iterations of not-so-forgotten-items from decades long past. Now a top 10 London attraction, the whole venue can be hired out in the evening as a terrific backdrop for a reception, product-launch party or as a corporate dinner venue. The Branding Hall (up to 250 guests) serves as the central congregation point of this nostalgia-inducing locale. For daytime events, the Conference Room (up to 85 guests) is best for training sessions, presentations, lectures, workshops and meetings.

8. Stockley Park Golf Club (West London)
Accessible via the M4, Stockley Park Golf Club is perfect for corporate events and hospitality trips. The Balcony Room (up to 190 guests) is a brilliant choice for conferences and dinners, featuring an outdoor balcony with a stunning view of the golf course. The Pavilion (up to 650 guests) is perfect for industry exhibitions, banquets and formal drinks receptions.

For those expecting guests from abroad, Stockley Park Golf Club is just 10 minutes from London Heathrow Airport and its nearby hotels. We can provide airport transfer services for guests that need transport from London Heathrow Airport.

9. ExCel London (East London)
Offering something for every type of corporate event, ExCel London is the home to the International Convention Centre (ICC London). With an auditorium, massive exhibition spaces and a collection of meeting rooms, the ICC is an exceptional corporate venue.

For those looking to host a large-scale event, the ICC Capital Suite (up to 1,394 guests) comes with 17 different meeting rooms – making it great for ‘events within an event’ gatherings. For smaller events, consider one of the ICC Capital Lounges (up to 50 guests). Once you’ve booked the venue, call on us for luxury coach hire to the Excel. Our drivers get you there on time and will wait in the same parking spot for your return.

10. Alexandra Palace (North London)
Alexandra Palace – affectionately referred to as ‘Ally Pally’ – is nestled on the southern side of Alexandra Park. This beautiful grade-II listed building houses the Palace Suite (up to 400 guests) features a bar, cloakroom and private foyer and also plays host to so many product launches, corporate parties and celebrations.

Consider hiring a MET minibus or coach for transport to transport guests to and from the venue. Your guests will appreciate avoiding the trouble of finding a parking space or waiting for the bus.
