What do you look for when you book meeting rooms in Manchester? A city centre location, perhaps, or an M1 postcode, but in fact these things can make your venue less easily accessible – and much of the city’s big business doesn’t take place in the heart of the city centre anyway.

For a more welcoming meeting room in Manchester’s up-and-coming areas, look to our premises on Salford Quays, with a choice between a desirable M5 postcode on Exchange Quay and our stunning MediaCity facilities at Clippers House on Clippers Quay.

Both offer excellent access via private and public transport alike, with Metrolink stops moments away, and are much more conveniently placed for the ring road when arriving by car along the M60 and M602.

Why force your guests to navigate the awkward one-way streets of Manchester city centre, the ever-decreasing number of road routes that actually allow you to cross the central business district, and the practically non-existent free parking?

Our meeting rooms in Manchester give you the spacious views of Salford Quays, looking out over the water, with well appointed interiors that include formal spaces for business meetings and comfortable, plush waiting areas so nobody is irritable by the time the meeting gets underway.

And we’re easy to find on Google Maps, so there’s no need to worry about giving people directions to the venue – you can even take a virtual tour of our Clippers Quay interiors with Google StreetView ‘Photo Spheres’ of our reception areas and some of our meeting rooms and serviced offices.

MediaCity or Exchange Quay?

Ultimately your choice of the best meeting rooms in Manchester is down to what suits your business – for obvious reasons, a MediaCity meeting room will sound better on paper for companies in media, marketing and similar industries.

But it’s worth taking a look at Clippers Quay and Exchange Quay on a map as, despite the very different M5 and M50 postcodes, they are just moments away from each other, either side of Trafford Road, and visitors using the Metrolink will get the Exchange Quay stop either way.

Exchange Quay is perhaps the slightly easier to find, as we’re in the glass Imperial Court Building 2 right alongside Trafford Road, so there’s no need to navigate the roads of the Quay itself.

On Clippers Quay, opposite our serviced offices and meeting rooms are in Clippers House, right on the spur of the Quay looking out over South Bay and the quirky local landmark Gnome Island – a definite icebreaker if one is needed!

Having two locations in close proximity means we are doubly likely to have meeting rooms available in Manchester when you need them most – so if one address is unavailable, we may still be able to accommodate you just across Trafford Road.

You may even want to book meeting rooms in both locations for different times of day – giving you a prime M5 postcode for meetings with a firm Manchester focus, before crossing the road to the MediaCity venue for discussions with broadcasters, producers, media and marketing clients.

A meeting room in London is a great way to make the right impression, whether your business is based there or you just want to meet a customer, investor or other interested party in a central location.

Obviously prime real estate in the heart of the capital is out of reach for many small businesses – and big ones, for that matter – but with a serviced meeting room in London, you can still make that right impression without the cost of owning or renting office space long-term.

Serviced meeting rooms give you a contemporary space decorated to a high standard, with the kinds of networking and audiovisual facilities you might need to stay connected while you are there, and crucially only at a price that pays for the time you actually use the room.

If you’re looking for a meeting room in London, Serviced Office Company’s space at Canary Wharf is a great first choice, just two minutes on foot from the Crossharbour DLR.

The E14 postcode is as desirable as it gets for London commercial real estate, putting you adjacent to Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs – and just to really impress the point on your guests, the nearest Tube station is Canary Wharf itself.

You’ll be situated on the iconic meander in the River Thames – arguably the most instantly recognisable element in the capital’s geography when viewed from above – with excellent views across the water.

And in case you or your guests need a snack or other supplies, there are plenty of shops and a large supermarket all within easy reach too.

What does a Meeting Room in London provide?

Book with Serviced Office Company and you get more than just an empty room. Our meeting rooms in London are designed to live up to the standards you expect from a central location in the capital city.

There are brand-name office furnishings from designers like Humanscale and Sedus, which not only makes an impression, but also ensures you and your guests are comfortable however long your meeting lasts.

We believe in a fully joined-up service though, with reception areas and comfortable places to wait, even before you get to the meeting room itself – so if anyone arrives early, they won’t be left out in the cold or stuck in a drab reception room.

Our staff are on hand to help you get everything set up, so if you do need to connect to a network or get that A/V equipment up and running, the process will be as quick and smooth as possible.

And if you’re not too keen on supermarket sandwiches, enquire about our on-site catering services, as we can provide enough food for all in attendance, prepared to the highest of standards.

Ultimately, our meeting rooms in London are there to give you a presence in the heart of the capital’s business district, without the hassle or responsibility of maintaining the room yourself – a stress-free way to host a meeting from two people right up to 60, with a prime postcode.
