The Gallery features seven adjoining meeting rooms that can be customized for different purposes and setups. The rooms connect to a spacious lounge area and can accommodate various layouts from small meetings to larger corporate events, though specific capacity numbers for individual rooms are not detailed in available information.

What audio-visual equipment is included with The Gallery rooms?

Each Gallery room includes wall-mounted 98" 4K LED screens, Apple TV 4K and Barco ClickShare for wireless presenting, AMX 10-inch touch panels for full AV system control, Bluetooth connectivity for personal devices, and electronic signage screens outside each room for event personalization with logos and videos. All AV equipment is included at no additional charge.

What are the mandatory security requirements and costs?

Security is mandatory for all events at The Londoner at £35.00 per hour per guard, with a minimum 6-hour requirement. One security guard is required per 100 attendees, and additional guards may be needed depending on the event nature. Security is also required during full setup and de-rig periods.

What are the standard event timings and access arrangements?

Events typically run with setup periods before guest arrival and de-rig time afterward. For example, day meetings often include 13:00-17:30 access periods, while evening events may run 18:00-01:00am with setup from 18:00-19:00 and de-rig until 02:00am. Specific timing requirements vary by event type and must be confirmed during booking.

What catering packages and experiences are available?

The Gallery offers various catering experiences including Arrival Experience, Afternoon Experience, and The Londoner Gallery Farmers Market Experience. Standard inclusions are tea and coffee service, bottled still or sparkling water per person, and access to seasonal menus. Specific package details and pricing vary based on guest numbers and requirements.

What additional services and amenities are included?

All Gallery bookings include unlimited Wi-Fi access on all devices, private cloakroom facilities, a dedicated Events Manager, and access to the private event entrance. The venue also provides electronic signage capabilities for branding and a spacious lounge area connecting the meeting rooms.

How does the booking process work and what are the payment terms?

The venue offers spaces on "first option" basis with specific hold periods (such as until a Friday deadline). Quotes are provided with detailed breakdowns including VAT and service charges, and clients can request to "block the space" to secure dates. Payment terms and deposit requirements are confirmed during the booking process.

Are there restrictions on external suppliers or equipment?

While specific vendor restrictions aren't detailed, the venue has an in-house AV team and provides comprehensive built-in technology. External AV providers may incur additional charges, and any external equipment or suppliers would need venue approval. The venue encourages using their integrated systems for optimal functionality.

What happens if minimum spend requirements aren't met?

If the minimum Food and Beverage spend of £200.00 is not reached, the shortfall will be charged as additional room hire on top of the base £1,800.00 venue hire fee. This ensures the total minimum commitment of £2,000.00 inclusive of VAT is maintained regardless of actual F&B consumption.
