Throgmorton,CulverdenandGreshamThe combined capacity of all three rooms varies from 12 to 120, depending on layout. When opened up, these form a great space for an evening reception or corporate presentation.

ThrogmortonThrogmorton on its own is best suited to presentations, meetings or workshops for a smaller number of guests. Capacities are 30 people (theatre-style), 16 (boardroom) and 14 (classroom). Refreshments can either be served in the room, or in Culverden, the connecting room.

Culverden (below) and Gresham (left)Each of these rooms has a boardroom capacity of 8 people. So, if you are looking for somewhere to brainstorm ideas or have a departmental meeting outside of the office, they are ideal. Refreshments can be served in the room or alternatively, you may wish to work in one and keep the other for a seated lunch or dinner.

Amalgamating the two rooms facilitates an environment that is businesslike yet informal. The combined capacity is 20 people (theatre-style), 16 (boardroom) and 10 (classroom).
