Drinks are usually charged separately, but you can find deals with complimentary water, tea, and coffee. Entertainment and decoration can also be provided, or they may be able to recommend featured vendors at an extra charge.

When choosing a business event space in London, you may hire one with in-house catering, enabling the venue to prepare whatever you need for the event. However, you may need to hire outside vendors, especially for blank canvas spaces with no catering services. In either case, it would be wise to check if the conference venue offers a BYOB option.
Some London corporate event venues offer facilities for hybrid events, video conferencing or live streaming, but the set-up varies by venue. Check whether cameras, microphones, screens, speakers and a suitable internet connection are included, and whether technical support is available on site. If you plan to stream or broadcast the event, confirm the requirements with the venue before booking.

In London, options include conference centres and auditoriums, hotel function rooms, historic halls, private spaces in bars and restaurants, and blank-canvas venues, studios and museums.
For business events, check whether the venue can provide the facilities your agenda requires, such as AV, reliable Wi-Fi, breakout space, flexible layouts and timed catering. Not every venue includes these, so confirm what is provided before you shortlist.
