About this space

Enhance your next meeting or presentation at The Foyle Room, located on the top level of the National Theatre. This intimate space can accommodate up to 20 guests in a boardroom setting, or 35 for a standing reception. With fantastic AV facilities as an optional add-on, as well as the option for a working lunch, or after-work drinks, The Foyle Room is the perfect daytime events space in central London.

The Foyle Room's floor-to-ceiling windows open up to stunning views of London's skyline, with plenty of natural light to encourage creative thinking and encourage learning.

We are able to offer a 65-inch TV for presentations or conference calls, plus flipcharts for note-taking. Good meetings need good catering - our in-house caterers are able to supply meals throughout the day, as well as snacks when needed, or we can arrange a table at one of the restaurants in the building - Lasdun or Forza Wine.

Everything about the venue and experience was excellent. The staff communication was fantastic and I cannot fault anything about the day at all.
I chose the day delegate package and would prefer to see some healthier rather than cookies as the morning snacks. The lunch was also a little light on protein. These are just my personal preferences regardless of the choses the quality was still excellent.

Lovely bright airy space with great views
Despite saying the balcony area is for the Foyle room only, we had frequent disruption from people walking past outside. Somewhat distracting when trying to hold a presentation.

So this is a really solid venue. Beautiful view. Lovely light room. Decent catering. Probably need to think a bit more about directing people to get into the building before it is open to the public but that was a minor issue.
The only issue is the wi-fi. Room either needs its own wi-fi or to be put on to the private wi-fi. Using the national theatres public wi-fi when you are conducting an all day zoom meeting is sub-optimal. Keeps cutting out because its being used by everyone in the facility.
