Westminster is home to some of the most beautiful and historical buildings in the city, so it's no surprise that there are some great press conference venues hidden away in the area. If you're looking for something more modern and sleek, then Canary Wharf is definitely worth a look. The area has seen a lot of development over the years, and it's home to some of London's tallest corporate buildings. If you're looking for something a little more intimate and cosy, then you should head over to the West End or Soho. Both areas are packed with congress centres and conference rooms. Soho is also home to some of London's most famous theatres, so if you're looking for something grandiose, this option is worth considering.

Your Guide to Hiring Press Conference Venues in London
Planning a press conference is all about attention to detail. Some things may escape your attention, which is why we’ve created a handy checklist to help you out. Keep these things in mind while you decide on the ideal press conference room:
- Make it easy to reach. Be sure to choose a location that’s easily accessible to the media. This is exactly why press conference venues in Central London are very much in demand. You should also arrange for parking as journalists work to tight deadlines and need to get in and out quickly.
- Arrange the right layout. When it comes to seating at your press conference, make sure print and radio are in front, then photographers without tripods, then photographers with tripods. All members of the press should have a clear view of the presenters.
- Make it memorable. Selecting a site that’s visually interesting or reflects your business or organisation in some way is key. If desired, position your company or organisation’s logo behind the speaker or in front of the podium so it will be included in photos of the event. Most press conference rooms in London are quite flexible when it comes to seating layouts.
- Take care of the technical aspects. It won’t hurt to test the audio system as well as check there are enough electrical outlets for lights. Better safe than sorry!

Verified Reviews of Press Conference Venues in London
We enjoyed a very successful press conference and organisation launch event. Thanks to Darcy who did her best to help resolve the difficulties in preparing for our event. Our requirements were not straightforward and we had to make several changes throughout our booking. However, Darcy was patient and helpful and we managed to upgrade to our specific requirements. Thanks Darcy, we appreciate all the assistance and advice you provided.
We hired the room to film some interviews, communication with Laura was excellent. She was very helpful when it came to helping us organise the logitics for the room. We will be sure to return and book again when we have another shoot.
Peter was really attentive to all our needs and was great at communicating on the day, made the shoot run really smoothly Space has a good amount of natural lighting
- Location and available lighting was excellent - Location has so much character - Felt safe and everyone adhered to COVID ways of working
This report is on the Tropical Library not Victorian Loft. The working space was good as we had space with good temperature control and felt informal to have an out of office workshop. The staff were helpful, discreet and polite. They kept the drinks topped up all day. Table football great as ice breaker.
Lovely bar, very nicely decorated, with lots of space for guests to socialise and/or dance. Robert was really accommodating and nice, and made us all feel very welcome! A very reasonable minimum spend for those not looking to break the bank. Would highly recommend T-Bird for anyone's event.
The decor and layout of the Club Room was to our taste and fitted our theme well. Bar Staff were friendly, polite and efficient. The pre-ordered warm beer was quickly replaced after I complained. The management decision to send out the food later than requested was appreciated due to the smaller than expected number of guests. Although I have a stated a few negatives, I overall enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend the venue.
