Giggster has cool meeting rooms that will inspire your team and make a lasting impact on your potential clients.
From community libraries and light-filled studios in the British capital to spacious Victorian houses and Grade I Gregorian buildings in Fitzroy Square, we have tons of options available for all groups, styles, and budgets. We know that the right setting can make all the difference, which is why we don’t just list those typical meeting rooms you’ll see inside offices. We also feature private estates, houses, and even warehouses you can transform into a blank canvas for your next event.

Why Choose Giggster for a Creative Meeting
If you're here to find creative meeting spaces, you're one step closer to achieving your goals. Think outside the box—your next big idea might just come from one of Giggster's unique meeting venues.
-
Our spacious collaboration hub in Exchange Quay may look just like any other boardroom in the UK. But once you explore the entire place, you’ll discover an unusual meeting room with relaxing areas, large windows to let the natural light in, and even a small entertainment space if you want to take a break and recharge.
-
The perfect meeting space doesn’t always look like four white walls and a projector. It could be in the form of a warehouse loft with a mid-century modern look that also doubles as a venue for creative workshops, retreats, content creation, and film/photo shoots.
-
Combine business and leisure in a Victorian house with a swimming pool and formal living room in London. If the living room is still a bit stuffy for you, set up the table and chairs in the garden for a refreshing meeting.
-
Maybe you want to take your team outside your office but still want a more formal setting for board meetings. Check out London’s Belsize Community Library which can house up to a hundred people. It’s bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and spacious; plus, you have shelves of books as your backdrop that are sure to inspire.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Creative Meeting
Whether you’re brainstorming the next big idea or just need a change of scenery, there are tons of spectacular options in the UK and beyond. Think outside the box (or the office) to find the best spot that offers a different environment from your usual workplace.
-
Hotels with Meeting Rooms – Relax and Sleep Where You Meet. You have a big meeting and everyone has flown in, but instead of rushing around town, you’re all in one place. After the meeting, you can head straight to your room or maybe hit the hotel bar—talk about convenience!
-
Converted Warehouses – Industrial Vibes, Big Ideas. The raw, edgy vibe, exposed brick, and high ceilings may be a total departure from your typical meeting room, but that’s the point. With a different setting to meet with clients, potential investors, or your team, those creative ideas are sure to flow.
-
Co-Working Spaces – Your Friendly Neighbourhood Idea Hub. Instead of those small meeting rooms that feel and look stuffy, co-working spaces offer a breath of fresh air. They maintain that professional look, but it’s more vibrant and buzzing with energy.
-
Stately Homes – For Meetings that Make a Statement. No matter what city or town in the UK you’re in, you can’t miss those stately homes, mansion-like venues, and magnificent palaces. And how cool it would be to hold your next boardroom or conference in one of those places. Check out the spacious Victorian homes and Gothic locations to rent on Giggster.
-
Restaurants and Cafes – Meet, Eat, and Be Merry. For a relaxed vibe and casual get-together, nothing beats a good restaurant or café, perfect for informal brainstorming sessions or smaller meetings. You don’t have to worry about a thing because there are comfy chairs, delicious food, and refreshing coffee available for your team.
Creative Meeting Location Must-Haves
You may think that the perfect meeting room is hard to find, but that's only because you probably don't know where to find it or what to look for. Don’t worry; we’ll point you in the right direction as we explore the top features that make the best creative meeting venue.
Is there room to roam? Size matters—no one wants to be crammed into a tiny room or rent a massive place when there’s only a handful of you. You need a place where you can move around comfortably, but it shouldn’t be too large, as well.
Is the venue easy to get to? If you can’t secure a central location, be sure it’s easy to reach, whether attendees take public transport or drive to the venue. There’s no point in booking a creative spot if it takes at least half a day to get to the meeting.
Does it have all the technology you need? Gone are the days when pens and paper are all you need for a meeting to be productive. We live in a digital world, so the venue must have reliable Wi-Fi, a projector, a screen, and other technology you need.
How to Organise a Creative Meeting
A productive meeting that sparks ideas and doesn’t bore attendees isn’t hard to plan. You might have to think outside the box in terms of the venue, but everything else is pretty much the same as what you need to do to organise any regular business meeting.
Know Your Goal – What’s the whole point of this meeting? If everyone knows the meeting’s objective, they can focus and prevent the meeting from going off the rails.
Set the Stage – The venue is one of the elements that sets a creative meeting apart from other business events, and it can mean the difference between a meeting that inspires or one that kills creativity. Choose a place where you can be creative and relaxed.
Don’t Over-Prep – You'll want to give people a little background info so they're not lost when the meeting starts, but keep it brief. Don't go overboard with the details or spell everything out—what's the point of even having the meeting if you'll do everything?
Keep it Moving – Stick to the agenda (as much as possible) during the meeting. You want people to participate, but keep an eye on the clock so you don't go overtime. Respect people's time.
Creative Meeting Expenses to Plan For
The last thing you’d want as you plan a creative meeting or any event is to be caught off guard by surprise costs you didn’t plan for. To avoid that stress and headache, let’s talk about some expenses you must include in your budget.
Where’s the meeting happening?
Did you think you were done just because you booked the venue and got that awesome location? Nope, not even close! You also have to think about the tech stuff, decorations, or materials for the meeting.
Will you serve food?
You won't want attendees to leave the meeting with a growling stomach, so you must serve some sort of refreshments. But even light snacks can be a bit expensive if you don't plan well.
You might need a speaker.
A speaker is not a must-have in every situation, but if your meeting calls for it, that’s another cost to consider. Their prices vary depending on their reputation, experience, or how long their presentation is.
