What are the exact costs for booking the Business space for a corporate drinks reception?

The Wardour (Business space) costs £1,700 including VAT for 9am-5pm hire. This includes complimentary self-service tea, coffee, and mineral water (4 still and 4 sparkling bottles). All food and beverage beyond the included items incurs a 15% service charge on top of menu prices.

What is the maximum capacity and what equipment is included in the Business space?

The Wardour seats 22 people maximum and features a 60" plasma smart TV screen, Wi-Fi, PA system, wine/bottle fridge, natural daylight, and mood lighting. The room has views of Shaftesbury Avenue and includes flipchart and pens for an additional £18.

What are the operating hours and earliest access time for events?

Century Club opens at 8:30am. For the Business space, standard daytime hire runs 9am-5pm, though earlier access may be possible depending on availability and requirements.

What food and beverage options are available and what restrictions apply?

You can order working lunch (requires pre-order by Wednesday before your event), dine in the restaurant with 20% off food, or have fresh pastries for £4.50 each. Outside food and drink are strictly prohibited from being brought into meeting rooms. All food and beverage purchases incur a 15% service charge.

How do I secure the booking and what is the payment process?

Once you confirm your booking, Century Club sends a payment link to secure the room. The room hire fee of £1,700 must be paid to confirm your reservation.

Can I extend my event beyond 5pm or book evening hours in the Business space?

The standard Business space hire is 9am-5pm for £1,700. Extended hours or evening bookings would require separate arrangements and likely different pricing structures, as evening events typically move to larger spaces like the Green Room or Cocktail Lounge.

What AV capabilities does the Business space offer for presentations?

The Wardour includes a plug-in 60" plasma smart TV screen and PA system. You can connect your laptop or device directly to display presentations. Additional AV equipment beyond the included screen and sound system may be available for hire.

Are there minimum spend requirements for the Business space?

The Business space operates on a room hire basis (£1,700 including VAT) rather than minimum spend. However, any additional food and beverage orders beyond the included tea, coffee, and water will be charged separately with 15% service charge.

What dining options are available if I want to include lunch for my business event?

You have two lunch options: working lunch served in the room (requires pre-order by Wednesday before your event) or a table in the restaurant with 20% off the Reduced A La Carte Menu. Restaurant menus change monthly, so updated versions may be provided closer to your event date.

Is the Business space suitable for after-work drinks or evening networking events?

The Business space (Wardour) is primarily designed for daytime business meetings with 9am-5pm availability. For after-work drinks and evening networking events, Century Club offers other spaces like the Cocktail Lounge (available from 6pm, £4,000-5,000 minimum spend) or Green Room (£6,000-10,000 minimum spend) that are better suited for evening receptions.
