Conferences represent big business in most cities that feature on the world business stage and London has some fabulous offerings for the discerning meeting or conference organiser. From modern art museums to historic buildings, there is something to suit everyone in this city. Venues are equipped with the necessary interactive technology and some have tiered seating perfect for larger presentations. Here is our pick of three very different venues to consider. The Mermaid This simply stunning venue, with its eye-catching views of the Thames and endless space, has lots of options for potential businesses. The huge auditorium that seats up to 600 people is captivating. The stage, with its easy street access for unloading gives a sense of grandeur, and the lighting that can be requested can create any number of atmospheres. Simple open plan style resonates throughout and the refurbishment oozes contemporary flair. Smaller meeting rooms are intimate and elegant and can be joined together for larger events to host 33 stands. The big pull for us is the fact that the team at the venue create a room around your conference, rather than just expecting you to fit into one of theirs. You can incorporate river views, a London skyline or indeed anything else you envisage. It is all about the personality of your event. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, the venue is easily reached by tube, bus or Stansted, Heathrow or Gatwick airport taxis. 15 Hatfields We love this place because of its strong environmental and sustainable operational ethic. As soon as you enter the reception you will notice the statement desk, created from recycled detergent bottles. The sustainable feel is carried throughout with organic and locally sourced food served to your business delegates as requested. Around every corner, this venue screams state-of-the-art. Versatility is the key to the meeting spaces here and the largest conference room can seat 72 comfortably, with several other smaller rooms offering contemporary meeting areas. No 11 Cavendish Square Located in a Grade II listed building of Georgian origin, this venue, with its four floors dedicated to event space, is exceptional. The stunning Orangery is a real gem and bordered by a beautiful garden makes for a unique meeting room. Recently, The Green House with its fabulous Champagne bar, perfect for impressing clients, has been opened and is also a stand out feature. Modern touches combine with period feature to create an elegant, stylish and welcoming space. The Burdett Theatre holds 248 people, so is suited to larger presentations and rooms such as the President’s Room and the Treasurer’s Room are not only full of character and charm, but well set out spaces for smaller meetings and conferences too. Most people arrive into London on a flight into Stanstead, Heathrow or Gatwick. Airport taxis can be booked to make your transfer to the conference venue stress free and easy. How to Get to London London is easily accessible by road, rail and air. The main train stations are Euston and Victoria, with King’s Cross St Pancras the arrival station for trains from the continent. The main airports are Stansted, Heathrow and Gatwick Airport.
