Unusual meeting rooms for hire in London
Most meeting rooms in London feel the same. Ours include cool warehouse lofts in Shoreditch, a former courthouse in Clerkenwell, penthouses near the Thames and design-led homes in Fitzrovia. Choose from 65 venues seating up to 160 people, from £120 an hour. Book by the hour or the day, with no booking fee. Our services include planning your meeting with you from start to finish: the venue shortlist and viewings, catering, AV and the day itself, with someone from our team on site at check-in.
Beige function rooms make every meeting feel the same. We chose these venues because the setting changes how a team thinks, and because they work for business: every one has presentation equipment and a breakout area, ready for a strategy session, workshop, client presentation or team offsite that people still talk about afterwards.

How to choose an unusual meeting room in London
Which room suits your meeting?
Start with the number of people, and always go by the seated capacity, not the standing one.
| Meeting | People seated | Most Popular Venues |
|---|---|---|
| Board meeting or client pitch | Up to 15 | New York-style loft in Clerkenwell, British Museum Penthouse |
| Workshop or brainstorm | 15 to 30 | The Artist's Loft, The Designer's Penthouse in Old Street |
| Strategy or away day | 30 to 40 | Canalside Studios, Fitzrovia Penthouse |
| Training or all-hands | 50 to 160 | Old Session House, The Victorian Event Space |
Best areas for unusual meeting rooms

- Clerkenwell: industrial lofts and a former courthouse, near Farringdon and the Elizabeth line. Top pick: Old Session House.
- Covent Garden: penthouses in the heart of the West End. Top pick: British Museum Penthouse.
- Old Street: large open spaces for bigger groups. Top pick: The Victorian Event Space.

Cool, quirky or creative: what makes a room unusual
Many of our venues had another life before. Aero Loft is an Art Deco former aircraft factory in Hackney, The Atlas Factory a former toy factory in Clapton, the London Bridge Playhouse a restored theatre, and Britain's biggest houseboat a 5,000 sq ft 1920s barge.
How to book and get the most from the room
- Book by the hour. No need to take a full day: venues are priced by the hour, from £120.
- Check the practical details. Seated capacity for your layout, video calls, Wi-Fi, step-free access, catering and your arrival and departure times. Our team checks them with the venue and can arrange a viewing.
- Know the budget. Our guide to how much it costs to hire a meeting room in London compares prices across the city.
