Meeting rooms in Soho start from £40 per hour at Podium on Poland Street for a professional 8-seater, while premium spaces like Century Club's Wardour Room command £150 hourly. Most mid-range options cluster around £70-£110 per hour for 6-10 person rooms. Fora's network across Broadwick Street, Liberty House and Wardour Street offers reliable pricing from £52-£288 hourly depending on capacity. Day rates typically run £350-£1,800, with The Resident Soho providing transparent value at £400 daily for their boardroom. Peak Tuesday-Thursday slots often carry 20% premiums, while Friday bookings at venues like Century can drop to £90 per hour from the usual £120.
For impressing clients, Ham Yard Hotel's Sherwood Room delivers premium polish with 30-person theatre setup at £300 hourly, while The Space on Regent Street provides daylight-filled boardrooms from £69 per hour. Tech companies favour Huckletree's Pitch room (14 seats, £156/hour) with built-in Zoom kit and creative interiors. The Soho Hotel's Indigo Room offers luxury surroundings at £240 hourly for executive meetings. For something distinctive, The Union Club's Writers' Room on Greek Street brings bohemian character at £65-£70 per hour. Each venue includes presentation screens, though Fora locations particularly excel with ClickShare wireless presenting and 4K displays across their Soho portfolio.
Standard meeting rooms at Regus Soho Square or Work.Life Noel Street typically have availability within 24-48 hours, especially for smaller spaces under 6 people. Premium venues like The Soho Hotel's screening rooms or Ham Yard's Windmill space book out 2-3 weeks ahead for peak slots. Tuesday-Thursday mornings disappear fastest across all venues. Runway East on Old Compton Street and Huckletree maintain good last-minute availability through their online booking systems. January and September see the heaviest demand, while August offers immediate availability almost everywhere. For groups over 20, book at least two weeks ahead, particularly for spaces like Courthouse Hotel's Chambers or Curzon Soho's cinema screens.
Oxford Circus delivers the broadest coverage, putting you within 7 minutes of Fora's three Soho locations, Liberty House (2 minutes), and Courthouse Hotel (3 minutes). Tottenham Court Road works brilliantly for eastern Soho, reaching Work.Life in 5 minutes and The Union Club in under 4. Piccadilly Circus serves southern venues like Century Club (3 minutes) and Karma Sanctum (4 minutes). The new Elizabeth Line at Tottenham Court Road has transformed accessibility from Heathrow and Canary Wharf. Most venues sit within a 5-minute walk of at least two stations. Avoid driving - Soho's pedestrianised zones and £4.90 hourly parking make public transport essential. The Central, Northern, Piccadilly and Elizabeth lines all converge here.
Curzon Soho leads with professional cinema screens - Screen 3 seats 81 for £1,249 per session, while Screen 1 accommodates 249 at £3,839. The Soho Hotel provides two dedicated screening rooms (45 and 100 seats) with full projection, popular for product launches. Karma Sanctum's soundproofed cinema room converts between 20-person boardroom and 45-seat theatre configuration at £200 hourly. For smaller groups, every Fora meeting room includes 55-inch screens with wireless presenting, while Huckletree's rooms feature Zoom Rooms hardware. Courthouse Hotel's Chamber suite handles up to 120 theatre-style with divisible spaces. Most venues now offer hybrid meeting support, though dedicated screening rooms provide superior audio for larger audiences.
Full-service hotels like Ham Yard and The Soho Hotel provide comprehensive catering from working breakfasts (£15-25 per person) to three-course lunches (£45-65). The Union Club leverages its restaurant kitchen for bespoke meeting menus. Fora locations offer standardised catering packages through preferred suppliers, typically £8-12 for continental breakfast, £15-20 for lunch. Century Club includes basic refreshments in room hire, with bar service available. Independent caterers like Peyton Events and Social Pantry deliver across Soho, though note that Regus and HQ spaces often restrict external catering. The Resident Soho keeps it simple with tea/coffee at £3.50 per person. For evening events, venues like Karma Sanctum integrate their bar service seamlessly.
True 24/7 access remains limited, though Fora members can access Broadwick Street and Liberty House meeting rooms from 7am-10pm weekdays with extended hours by arrangement. Huckletree Soho offers member access until midnight, with meeting rooms bookable 8am-8pm for non-members. Work.Life operates 24/7 for members but restricts external meeting room bookings to 8am-6pm. Hotels provide the most flexibility - The Soho Hotel and Ham Yard accommodate early morning and late evening sessions by request. For guaranteed after-hours access, consider serviced office providers like Podium on Poland Street where tenants receive round-the-clock building access. Weekend availability varies significantly, with most coworking spaces closed Sundays except for member access.
Private members' clubs excel for discretion - The Union Club's intimate rooms on Greek Street offer complete privacy with separate entrances, while Century Club's dedicated meeting wing via 44 Wardour Street keeps business separate from club areas. Hotels like The Resident Soho provide soundproofed boardrooms away from public areas. Fora's smaller rooms at Liberty House work well for sensitive conversations, particularly their 3-4 person spaces with solid walls. Avoid Runway East and Huckletree's glass-walled rooms if visual privacy matters. For legal or financial discussions, HQ (formerly Regus) at 18 Soho Square offers traditional closed-door privacy with professional reception screening. Karma Sanctum's soundproofed cinema room provides unexpected acoustic isolation for board-level discussions.
Basic hire at venues like The Resident Soho and Regus covers the room, standard AV (screen/TV), WiFi and basic furniture. Fora locations include reception service, printing access and kitchen facilities alongside 55-inch screens with ClickShare. Century Club builds in refreshments - tea, coffee and biscuits - within their £120-150 hourly rates. Huckletree and Runway East add whiteboards, adapters and basic stationery. Premium venues like The Soho Hotel incorporate dedicated event coordination and setup. Most charge extra for conference calling (£20-40), flipcharts (£15-25) and catering. Video conferencing equipment varies widely - Huckletree includes Zoom Rooms hardware, while others charge £50-100 for VC setup. Always confirm whether quoted prices include VAT - hotels typically include it, while workspaces often add 20%.
Coworking spaces like Fora, Huckletree and Runway East deliver consistency, online booking and transparent pricing from £40-150 hourly, ideal for regular meetings and creative sessions. Their tech setup suits hybrid meetings, though atmosphere can be casual. Hotels like Ham Yard and The Soho Hotel provide full service, prestigious addresses and flexible catering but cost £200-360 hourly with less transparent pricing. Hotels excel for formal presentations, international clients and all-day sessions requiring lunch service. Coworking wins for quick bookings, regular team meetings and startup budgets. Consider Work.Life or Podium for middle ground - professional yet affordable at £50-70 hourly. Time of day matters too - hotels often have better evening availability while coworking spaces may restrict access after 6pm for non-members.
