You're looking at £80-£160 per hour for quality 10-person boardrooms in the immediate Cannon Street area. Landmark's Guildhall room at 75 King William Street runs £124/hour excluding VAT, while Hubflow on Lombard Street offers sharp value at £85/hour for their 10-seater. For premium options, Argyll at 1 King William Street commands around £150-£180/hour but includes those City skyline views from their roof terrace location.
The sweet spot sits around £110-£130/hour for established operators. City Pavilion's boutique rooms start from £80/hour according to recent listings, though membership perks can reduce this. If you book half-day or full-day packages, expect 15-20% savings versus hourly rates.
Landmark Cannon Place takes the crown with its zero-minute walk position directly above Cannon Street station at 78 Cannon Street. You literally exit the station into the building lobby. IWG's centre at 60 Cannon Street follows closely at just 1-2 minutes, while City Pavilion at Cannon Green sits a mere 60 seconds from the station exit.
For multi-station access, Argyll at 1 King William Street brilliantly triangulates Bank (1 minute), Cannon Street (2-3 minutes) and Monument (3-4 minutes). Vintry & Mercer Hotel near Mansion House gives you three stations within five minutes. The entire Cannon Street corridor benefits from this transport density, with Bank, Monument and Mansion House all providing backup routes when the District line acts up.
City Pavilion at Cannon Green stands out with its communal roof terrace accessible to meeting room bookers, perfect for breakout sessions or post-meeting drinks. Argyll at 1 King William Street features private terrace access from certain boardrooms with those coveted City skyline views. The Westin London City offers riverside balconies attached to some meeting floors, though these command premium rates.
For something different, Queen of Hoxton's seasonal rooftop (technically Shoreditch but worth the journey) transforms completely between summer and winter. During warmer months, several venues open their terraces for informal networking. Book early April through September when outdoor spaces become gold dust in EC4.
etc.venues Monument leads with rooms accommodating up to 240 theatre-style, spread across their 20-room facility at 8 Eastcheap. Their divisible suites can also create custom configurations for 100-150 delegates. The Westin London City's ballroom handles 150 theatre-style or 160 for banquet seating, though this comes with five-star pricing.
For more moderate sizes, IWG at 60 Cannon Street configures up to 120 theatre-style across their larger training rooms. Leonardo Royal near St Paul's (10-minute walk) pushes to 200 in their Milton Suite. Most Cannon Street venues focus on the 4-50 person sweet spot, reflecting the area's boardroom and training room heritage rather than conference hosting.
etc.venues Monument has built their reputation on transparent DDR packages, typically £80-£100 per person including room hire, refreshments, lunch and AV equipment. The Westin London City quotes around £125 per person for their executive DDR, reflecting the five-star service level. Leonardo Royal St Paul's aggressively prices at £69 per person for their standard package.
Vintry & Mercer Hotel structures DDRs between £89-£98 depending on menu choices and room selection. Several workspace operators like Landmark and Orega can arrange DDR-style packages on request, though they don't advertise standardised rates. For groups over 20, negotiating bespoke packages often beats published DDRs, particularly for regular bookings through Zipcube's corporate accounts.
Orega at 70 Gracechurch Street wins on pure tech with their Clevertouch smart screens in every room, enabling seamless hybrid sessions without IT support. Us&Co Monument at 7 Harp Lane equips all four meeting rooms with full-HD screens and plug-and-play AV that actually works first time. City Pavilion's nine rooms feature modern video-conferencing kit as standard.
etc.venues Monument professionally manages AV across their 20 rooms with on-site technicians available. Landmark spaces include videoconferencing in their hourly rates, removing the usual £50-£100 AV surcharge. For critical presentations, IWG's larger rooms at 60 Cannon Street offer redundant internet connections and broadcast-quality streaming capabilities.
Vintry & Mercer Hotel delivers genuine character with The Library, Drawing Room and Music Room, each themed uniquely while maintaining professional AV capabilities. These intimate spaces seat 10-32 with period features and contemporary comfort. City Pavilion brings design-led aesthetics to the corporate world with their members' club ambiance and curated artwork.
For architectural interest, Landmark's 125 Old Broad Street occupies the former Stock Exchange building, blending heritage with modern meeting needs. The boutique operators at One Avenue Group's Birchin Court provide concierge-style service in elegant surroundings. Even some Regus locations surprise with personality, though Cannon Street tends toward efficient rather than eccentric.
The brutal truth: Cannon Street offers minimal parking with most venues relying on public transport. The closest option remains the Bank of America Merrill Lynch car park on King William Street (£4.40/hour, capped at £48/day). Thames Exchange nearby provides 24-hour access but fills early with City workers. Q-Park Tower Bridge (10-minute walk) offers pre-booking with slightly better rates.
Smart money uses Cannon Street's exceptional transport links instead. Four stations within five minutes beats any parking scenario. Some hotels like The Westin offer valet parking at premium rates (£65/day). For essential vehicle access, book Us&Co Monument or City Pavilion which both maintain relationships with nearby NCP facilities for preferential rates.
Most Cannon Street operators offer flexible half-day packages, typically running 8am-1pm or 1pm-6pm. Landmark explicitly prices half-days at roughly 60% of day rates, making their Guildhall room around £500 for four hours versus £124 hourly. Orega and Argyll structure similar half-day options, particularly popular for board meetings with working lunches.
IWG centres at both 60 Cannon Street and 68 Lombard Street provide morning/afternoon splits. etc.venues Monument packages half-days including catering from around £55 per person. Interestingly, Hubflow at 37 Lombard Street prices their half-day slots at just 3.5x hourly rates, offering genuine savings. Through Zipcube, you can filter specifically for half-day availability across all venues.
Argyll at 1 King William Street specialises in discrete, premium boardrooms favoured by legal and financial firms handling sensitive negotiations. Their acoustic treatment and private access routes ensure complete confidentiality. Landmark's smaller rooms like the Tower suite (4-person) at Cannon Place provide soundproofed environments away from open workspace areas.
One Avenue Group at Birchin Court maintains boutique privacy with dedicated entrances and concierge-managed access. The Westin's boardroom on the executive floor includes a private anteroom for pre-meeting preparation. For ultra-sensitive discussions, Unity's private floor option at 110 Cannon Street lets you control the entire environment, though this requires longer-term commitment beyond single meeting bookings.
