The studio was lovely and spacious, it had everything we needed and more. Andy, the host, was extremely helpful and made the experience that much better. He was very responsive prior to the booking, and answered any questions I threw his way. Will definitely be using again.
A lovely venue, fabulous decor. Kevin was always on hand to look after us. Coffee is good. Great value for money.
The venue was easy to access, very spacious with good amenities. Kitchen is fully equipped, everything is easy to find/use. Communication with venue was very good, prompt responses and check ins before the event.
Alexis was very helpful in organising everything. We got exactly what we needed from the shoot and the space was quick to setup for talking heads.
I arrived and there weren’t enough chairs, I contacted the team and they were very helpful and helped me get more chairs for the session. There were two large tables and lots of space. The room was clean enough and suitable for our event.
The team were so helpful and it was a really great time. The food was nice the service was prompt and we had a great time.
For a central London meeting room this was OK, it was clean and was reasonable value There was enough power sockets and good connection to TV etc..
Absolutely perfect venue for our requirements. Madi especially went above and beyond to ensure our rental was gold standard, and I would book this room again or recommend to others for her alone.
