About Fora - The Smiths Building
The moment you step into our 1913 building at 179 Great Portland Street, you'll notice the original industrial features we've carefully preserved alongside the modern workspace we've created. Fora - The Smiths Building combines the heritage of its past life as Smiths Industries headquarters with everything today's businesses need. Our meeting rooms and private offices occupy a space where natural light pours through the glass atrium, creating an atmosphere that keeps everyone energized throughout the day. We have over 350 tech-enabled meeting rooms across our network, with four distinct boardrooms right here that handle everything from training sessions to video conferences. The private offices accommodate teams of 4 to 20 people, all furnished and ready to go. What our guests particularly appreciate is how smoothly everything works. The technology connects instantly, the rooms are always prepared for your arrival, and our team makes sure you know exactly where to find the hot drinks and facilities. We've had feedback about our coffee being particularly good, which we're rather proud of. The open lounge provides additional space when you need a change of scenery, while the rooftop terrace offers city views and fresh air between sessions. We're open 24/7, so early morning meetings or late evening work sessions are never a problem. The fully stocked kitchens mean you don't have to venture out for refreshments, and if you cycle in, we have secure bike storage plus showers to freshen up. For those arriving by tube, Great Portland Street Station is just three minutes' walk away. Whether you're conducting interviews, running workshops, hosting client presentations, or gathering your team for strategic planning, we've designed our spaces to support productive work. Our bright, well-maintained rooms create the right environment for focused sessions and successful meetings.

Yeah the room was great – we will definitely use it again if we come to London.
One small thing is that the room hadn't been cleared of glasses and things when I arrived at 12.35.
