London is packed with meeting spaces. But when you need to make an impression – whether it’s a client meeting or team away day – few venues deliver the professionalism and exclusivity of a Georgian townhouse like 41 Portland Place.

Set in the heart of Marylebone, this Grade II* listed venue offers a sophisticated alternative that makes your meeting memorable. Here are five advantages of choosing 41 Portland Place when you’re searching for meeting room hire in London.

1. We’re not your typical London meeting room hire

Step into 41 Portland Place and you’ll immediately understand why it stands apart from your typical London meeting room hire. This historic Georgian townhouse boasts period features that create an atmosphere of prestige and refinement. Think high ornate ceilings, marble fireplaces and sash windows flooding spaces with natural light.

The John Newsom-Davis Suite exemplifies this perfect blend of character and functionality, offering a gorgeous setting that inspires creativity. Unlike generic venues where every room feels identical, our spaces offer a distinctive backdrop that reflects well on your organisation and leaves lasting impressions on attendees.

2. Privacy and prestige for sensitive discussions

When confidentiality matters 41 Portland Place has you covered – whether you’re after boardroom hire in London, discreet discussions in private meeting rooms in Marylebone or sensitive team meetings. Our spaces offer the perfect environment for high-level conversations without distraction.

You can even hire the entire venue. This gives your team complete control over the environment, with no interruptions from other events or unexpected visitors. It’s particularly valuable for strategic planning sessions, merger discussions or confidential client presentations where privacy is paramount.

3. Tailored layouts for any agenda

Every meeting has different requirements, and our flexible meeting rooms in Marylebone adapt seamlessly. The Curie Boardroom provides an intimate, professional setting for focused meetings of 5-12 guests, complete with built-in LCD screen and natural light.

For larger gatherings of up to 70 people, the Wolfson Conference Suite comes equipped with state-of-the-art AV facilities including HD projector, 140″ screen, hearing loop and a comprehensive sound system. Need breakout spaces? The Ann Rylands Room offers the perfect solution for smaller group work, complete with access to a private rooftop terrace – an ideal venue for a summer team away day in London.

Meeting room hire at our London venue comes with everything you need: flipcharts, AV equipment and hybrid meeting technology for seamless virtual participation. Whatever you’re planning we can configure the space to match.

4. Easily accessible in the heart of Marylebone

41 Portland Place’s central position puts you at the heart of London’s business district. Just a short walk from Oxford Circus, Regent’s Park and Great Portland Street stations, it’s easy to get to.

Our Marylebone meeting rooms are surrounded by creative, media and business districts, making it ideal for industry meetings and networking opportunities. Plus, being close to the BBC Broadcasting House, the Langham Hotel and All Souls Church means your guests can easily combine meetings with other business.

5. A meeting venue catered by Searcys

Whether you need a working breakfast, an elegant lunch service or sophisticated canapés, we partner with Searcys, who can tailor the menu to your requirements and dietary needs.

From boardroom coffee service to formal three-course meals, our catered meeting venue enhances rather than disrupts your meeting. The quality and presentation reflect the same attention to detail that defines every aspect of 41 Portland Place.
