Many meetings take place in rooms that are just plain boring, in venues that are even more uninteresting! Our meeting room is a comfortable, flexible room that won't break the bank, but our standards are still high. The room was redecorated in November 2008.
The room is available for booking at any time of the day or evening, any day of the week. Our charges start at £95 plus VAT and include your self service refreshments facility. We charge a fixed fee for usage between 1000 and 1630 and supplements for earlier starts or later finishes. Different prices apply to evening meetings. The inclusion of tea/coffee can mean a considerable saving compared to venues who charge for coffee by the cup. An optional rapid booking system (with deposit payment online by card) keeps administration to a minimum.
If you need to know dimensions and the shape of the room please download this Layout plan - small meeting room in Adobe PDF format. This plan gives key dimensions and illustrates the unusual layout of the anti-room and the meeting area.

When you need a place to meet in
central London, or near King's Cross or St. Pancras, which won't cost a
fortune, our small conference room / meeting room is ideal. It is a relaxed,
pleasant place for meetings, training, interviewing, and small scale lunches
and dinners. It is an airy room with plenty of natural light, with an
exhibition of canal posters and pictures not on public display. The conference
room is an unusual combination of a main meeting space, and an anti-room,
divided by a narrower opening. We have 12 comfortable upholstered conference
chairs, and tables are arranged to suit your needs. The anti-room is normally
used for refreshments and can also be useful if you need a place for materials,
literature or other things for your event. We can provide flip charts and an
overhead or data projector. Wi-Fi Internet access is available with The
Cloud.
Our self service refreshments are included in the charges. We provide a table equipped with a kettle, and all the ingredients to make your own tea and coffee as and when you want it. Disposible cups are supplied, as are selected alternative teas such as fruit, green or Earl Grey tea. So far as practicable we use Fair Trade ingredients. A supply of good quality biscuits is provided. Both china and disposable cups are available. This is informal and completely flexible. However if you are entertaining clients or VIP guests we can offer a more formal service with staffing, ground coffee, etc. at a supplementary charge so please let us know what you need and we'll quote for your exact requirements
The furniture is flexible and can be arranged to suit you. Round tables are also available at a supplement of £10 for one, £15 for two. These seat up to 10 people each for dining, up to 8 for meetings, or up to 6 per table for meetings with a presentation, where everyone needs to see the screen or speaker. The supplement covers round disposable table cloths that you can use as a brainstorming tool - write down your thoughts and take away the cloth at the end!
Wi-Fi access is provided by The Cloud, the leading network of hotspots. Charges are paid online, direct with The Cloud, or you can set up an account with them to use all their many hotspots at www.thecloud.net.
So far as practicable, our self-service refreshments are provided using Fair Trade supplies. Disposable cups are made from biodegradable material.
You don't have to be having a meeting. The room is suitable for small
receptions, private dinners, buffet lunches and more.
Please note that bookings for the small conference room are not accepted for Saturdays or Sundays earlier than six weeks prior to the date. This is due to the regular use of the room in conjunction with larger weekend private functions. An exception can occasionally be made where the pattern of bookings for the month is already known well in advance and also in January and February.
