Meeting · 20 guests · July 2025 · The Warehouse & Snug
Loved the team who was supporting us - great communication. Timely. Super helpful and no requests too big or too small. Loved the space - true to photos and description. Perfect for small team building, brain storm / strategy day! Floor to ceiling whiteboard walls and walls that can have flip chart stuck on were absolutely hail mary! Snug - private casal kitchen space for breaks with complimentary coffee / tea / soft drinks / fruit / crisps and tonnes of sweets!!!! Stationary / tech - all the stationary anyone can ask for any team building / L&D exercises. Also high end video conference / AV set up for video calls / presentations Aircon - winning during the UK heatwave!!!
Stairs!!!! If you are not fit to climb stairs aka get out of breath to go up and down stairs for bathrooms... don't choose this place. Otherwise, it's perfect!!!!
