Info

Key information Get the most out of this guide’s listings to create a truly successful event for any occasion At London & Partners we have many partners who work with us to make your experience of London unique and inspiring. We have listed them here in four colour-coded categories: Exhibition Centres, Hotels, Meeting Venues and Event Services (please note: a list of newly joined partners can be found at londonandpartners.com/ cvb/addendum). Most entries contain symbols showing available facilities (see key opposite), and a map reference to help you locate the venue (see maps page 123). Alternatively, talk to one of our experts – contact our Event Solutions team now (see page 10 for contact details) or visit our online venue finding service at londonandpartners.com/cvb/venuefinder Accessibility info In this guide, hotels displaying the accessiblity symbol shown below have been thoroughly assessed by Direct Enquiries Ltd against relevant criteria and are committed to accessibility. Please note, however, that other establishments may also have disabled access but may not have sought a formal assessment. Full details of hotels offering accessible rooms suitable for wheelchair users travelling independently can be found at visitlondon. com/access and inclusivelondon.com If your clients have additional needs or specific requirements, we strongly recommend that you ensure these can be met by the chosen establishment before you confirm your client’s booking. X Accessible to a wheelchair user travelling independently 24 londonandpartners.com/convention-bureau Quality assurance & star ratings Look for the star rating throughout this guide – this is the official mark of quality, awarded to accommodation by VisitEngland and the AA. Stars are awarded following annual assessments by trained, impartial assessors. Annual visits are made, and in the case of hotels and guest accommodation, this involves a ‘mystery shop’ overnight stay at least every other year to thoroughly check out the service, hospitality, food and cleanliness as well as the standard and comfort of the accommodation. All participating establishments are awarded between one and five stars. The more stars, the higher the quality and range of services and facilities provided. Some properties have been assessed to ensure they meet minimum standards of cleanliness and maintenance, but are not scored for quality, so no star ratings are awarded, eg hotel chains such as Hilton Hotels. Some properties were awaiting a quality assessment grading at the time of going to print. Gold and Silver awards VisitEngland recognises the top scoring properties at all star ratings by awarding Silver and Gold awards. These are for B&Bs, hotels, self-catering accommodation and serviced apartments that are the ‘best of the best’. For full details of VisitEngland’s assessment schemes, see enjoyengland.com Green Tourism for London scheme Green Tourism for London is an independently audited green accreditation scheme for London’s tourism businesses. The scheme has three main aims: to help businesses improve their resource and energy management, to improve business efficiency and to help visitors assess the true green credentials of businesses before booking, by giving companies a Bronze, Silver or Gold award. The awards, which are only made after businesses receive help from advisers and a visit from an independent assessor, recognise businesses that are operating in a sustainable manner, as well as actively promoting public transport, local cultural activities and London’s open spaces. The scheme is being run by Green Business UK and has been adapted for London from the successful national Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS). If a business listing in this guide displays one of the Green Tourism for London logos below, it means they have applied for accreditation. For more details on the green credentials of these businesses and the awards they have earned please see green-business.co.uk For more information on the Green Tourism for London scheme: T: +44 (0)1738 632 162 E: gtbs@green-business.co.uk green-business.co.uk
Theatre style Cabaret style U-shape style Seating layouts There are several ways in which a room may be set up for a meeting – the most usual being for delegates to be seated theatre-style. Formal meetings or those requiring delegates to take notes may, however, require the seating to be around a hollow square, boardroom, U-shape or schoolroom/classroom style. The usual seating for dinners, banquets or lunches would be at round tables for 8, 10 or 12 people, with or without a top table, or at a top table with sprigs. For a buffet/ reception, numbers would correspond with those given for theatre-style seating. example listing maximum capacity category map reference establishment name Quality assurance rating Description Green Tourism for London rating Number of bedrooms Room capacity (see Seating layouts info above) • In this guide, seating capacities are listed in theatre-style unless otherwise stated • Room size is shown in m2 and height in metres • To obtain ft2 from m2 , multiply the room capacity size by 10.76, eg 100m 2 equals 1,076ft 2 Facilities (see Key to symbols opposite) Contact details Nearest Tube/rail/DLR station In this guide, seating capacities are listed in theatre-style unless otherwise stated.
