2. Meeting rooms
It is possible to rent meeting rooms in London
on an ad hoc basis. This makes it possible for
you to keep fees down as you only have to pay
for a meeting space when you have to it. It
also enables you to create a great first
impression which will allow you to close those
vital contracts.
You will find a massive variety of meeting
rooms out there and deciding on the correct
one is incredibly important and can have a big
influence on the success of your meeting.
There are a variety of factors to think about
when looking for a meeting room.

3. Location
Location is important especially if you use the
meeting rooms fairly often. You'll likely need to
bring laptops and important documents to the
meeting. You of course do not want to carry
these very far so a meeting room that is close
to your place of work is paramount. Travel time
is also a vital element to consider. If it will take
30 minutes to get to your meeting room and
your meeting is 1 hour long, each meeting will
take 2.5 hours. Compare this to having a
meeting room which is nearby.

4. Consistent branding
Impressions are everything in business. Firms
spend lots of money on branding and therefore
it is essential to keep up this brand when in
meetings. If you are a top brand, you do not
want to hire a budget meeting room. Likewise
you don't want to book a meeting room that's
too luxurious if your main USP is price as this
could create the impression that you are
overpriced.

5. Perfect size
Size matters as they say! A meeting room
designed for the correct number of attendees is
a must. A crowded room will make people feel
uncomfortable, whilst a meeting room which is
too large for you will make it look unpopular.
You should layout of the meeting rooms to
ensure the meeting room can be arranged to
suit your needs; check for example, that
everyone who attends will be able to see the
people who are speaking without unnecessary
obstructions.

6. Ready to use
It is essential to select a meeting room
which is already set up. You do not want to
be wasting time setting things up. You also
don't want to bring your own equipment.
While it's not a big deal for a one off
meeting, for those who book meeting
rooms frequently, the time you spend
setting things up will be massive.

7. Price
When these points have been considered, the
last point to consider is price! Is it possible to
find a venue which fits all the above
requirements that's in your budget for the
meeting? If not, you need to go back through the
points to understand the necessary elements as
well as the desirable ones!

8. Testimonals
It's vital to read testimonials before you hire
the meeting room. This will provide you with a
good indication of the quality as well as the
service offered. When reading testimonials,
check the date. The testimonial does not count
for a lot if it's out of date.
