Television Centre hosts two distinct meeting experiences: Soho Works White City offers four bookable rooms (The Study, Loftus, West, East) with 55" screens for 6-10 people, while White City House provides members' club style rooms including three screening rooms seating 31-46. The BBC's own Helios Boardroom remains operational here too, featuring dual screens and flexible partitioning for executive sessions. These venues blend broadcast heritage with contemporary design, and most importantly, they're available for public booking, not just BBC or member use. Expect to pay premium rates (£120-500/hour) but you're literally meeting where broadcasting history was made.
Huckletree West at White City Place leads on value with themed rooms from £30-80/hour - their F8 room seats 4, while Spaceport accommodates 12. For training needs, the West London Retail Skills Hub inside Westfield offers surprising value at £50-70/hour for spaces up to 30 people. Imperial's Incubator provides five meeting rooms (5-15 people) at competitive rates around £50-100/hour, though priority goes to resident companies. These venues understand startup budgets while still delivering professional environments with proper AV setup and support.
White City Station (Central Line) puts you within 2-5 minutes of Soho Works, Venture X at Westfield, and The Invention Rooms. Wood Lane (Circle/Hammersmith & City) serves the same venues plus offers slightly quicker access to Huckletree West at around 6-7 minutes. Scale Space and Imperial's I-HUB sit furthest at 6-10 minutes from either station. The dual-line coverage means you're never stuck if one line has issues, and Shepherd's Bush Overground provides backup just 10 minutes from most venues. This connectivity beats many Zone 1 locations for reliability.
The district excels at mid-size flexibility. Venture X covers 4-24 people across four rooms, while Huckletree West offers precise sizing from 4 (F8) through 8 (Black Rock), 10 (Alphabet City) to 12 (Spaceport). For larger gatherings, Scale Space handles up to 24 in meeting rooms but also offers The Pitch (30 seated) and The Arena (150 seated) for presentations. Imperial's Incubator features two conference rooms that combine for 100-person town halls. This range means you can scale from interview to investor pitch to all-hands without leaving the postcode.
Scale Space White City leads with state-of-the-art hybrid meeting technology across all rooms, essential for distributed teams. Venture X emphasizes their tech-enabled, AV-connected rooms with executive-grade connectivity. Soho Works standardizes on 55" screens with wired/wireless options plus on-site podcast equipment for content creation. Huckletree West integrates 49" screens with cameras and mics in all four rooms. Even the Retail Skills Hub features digital interactive boards across their three studios. The consistent tech quality across White City venues reflects the area's media heritage and current innovation focus.
Beyond standard boardrooms, White City offers distinctive options. White City House operates three actual screening rooms (31-46 seats) perfect for presentations with visual impact. Soho Works provides podcast recording facilities alongside traditional meeting rooms. The BBC's Helios Boardroom offers broadcast-grade facilities with expandable configurations for media presentations. Westfield's Fashion Lounge creates dynamic environments for product launches and creative sessions. The Invention Rooms at Imperial focuses on community-university collaboration with spaces up to 120 people. These specialized venues give White City an edge for meetings that need something beyond four walls and a screen.
White City operates across distinct price bands. Budget-conscious options like Huckletree West start from £30/hour for 4-person rooms. Mid-range venues including Venture X and Regus I-HUB charge £60-200/hour depending on size, with Regus advertising from £115/hour. Premium spaces at Soho Works run £120-180/hour, while White City House meeting rooms reach £200-500/hour. Day rates typically offer better value: expect £450-1,200 for standard rooms, rising to £2,000-4,000 for exclusive venues like the Helios Boardroom. The Retail Skills Hub publishes transparent 'suggested donation' rates from £200-550 per day.
Scale Space dedicates a 24-person Training Room with full hybrid capabilities, ideal for professional development. The West London Retail Skills Hub specializes in training with three studios (24-30 capacity) featuring interactive boards at just £200-450 for half-day sessions. Regus I-HUB offers traditional training room formats within Imperial's innovation ecosystem. Venture X includes training-suitable spaces among their four rooms, with the largest boardroom seating 24. For larger training events, Imperial's Incubator conference rooms accommodate up to 100 when combined. The concentration of training-ready venues reflects White City's evolution into a knowledge district.
Venue-managed spaces like Soho Works and Huckletree West often have availability within 24-48 hours through Zipcube's instant booking. However, specialized venues require more planning: BBC's Helios Boardroom and White City House screening rooms book weeks ahead for peak times. Imperial facilities operate on enquiry basis with academic term-time bringing higher demand. Westfield's executive suites see heavy weekday morning demand from retail sector meetings. For guaranteed choice, especially for groups over 12, booking 1-2 weeks ahead ensures you get your preferred venue rather than settling for what's left.
Most White City venues bundle impressive amenities into their rates. Venture X includes concierge-style hospitality, bike storage and showers. Scale Space provides an on-site café and dedicated support team. Soho Works grants access to lounge areas and their full creative workspace. Huckletree West offers extensive breakout spaces within White City Place's media campus. Regus I-HUB includes on-site team support and video conferencing. Even budget options like the Retail Skills Hub include tech support for their interactive boards. The comprehensive service levels reflect competition between venues and the area's professional user base expecting more than just a room.
