As the political heart of London, the City of Westminster is a world-class location for business meetings. Home to landmarks like Buckingham Palace, it’s also an important cultural destination.
By choosing a meeting room in Westminster, you’ll be well-placed to access the rest of the city from a central London address.
Westminster is also an ideal environment for professional services businesses with government connections. Given its location, the legal, management, and consulting sectors have maintained a strong presence here.
But with Westminster’s economy accounting for 10% of all businesses registered in London, it’s a popular choice for businesses of any industry.
In this article, we’ll explore what a conference room in Westminster can deliver for your organisation and our top selection of centres here.
Westminster: an economic powerhouse in London
London is the UK’s financial hub whose economic impact holds global sway. At its centre, Westminster offers a diverse commercial landscape and is home to over 120,000 businesses. Many multinational corporations have headquarters here, including leaders in financial services.
Ashmore Group, an investment management firm holding over $55.9 billion in assets, operates from the borough.
Westminster’s position on the banks of the Thames puts it close to major stations like Charing Cross and Victoria. It’s a fantastic place for hosting events, as many conference venues are within walking distance of the Underground.
Why professional services can benefit from a Westminster meeting venue
If you’re a professional services firm looking for a venue, Westminster is an impressive destination. Let’s look at six key reasons why it’s ideal for legal, management and IT events:
1. Central business hub
Conference rooms in Westminster position your event in the UK’s premier economic zone. The borough is at the heart of politics and financial decision-making. With a high number of businesses in a small footprint, Westminster has a strong focus on its business community.
The local Westminster Business Forum plays a key role in this with its regular events that explore topics relevant to resident companies. These include conferences on priorities for certain markets and emergent technologies.
2. Networking opportunities
Westminster provides some of the most valuable networking opportunities in London. Business spaces near Parliament and Westminster Abbey allow you to connect with politicians, legal professionals, financial consultants, and more.
If you work in professional services, you can book a meeting space to host events and meet people in your sector. With many of the consulting firms here already meeting to attend the events of the Westminster Insight group, the area has already proven itself a hotspot for professional networking and collaboration.
3. Access to corporate venues
Nestled within Westminster's dynamic landscape lies a diverse selection of in-demand corporate venues.
Booking a meeting space in Westminster puts you at the heart of one of London’s most prominent spots for corporate events. This makes it a compelling choice for professional meetings.
When you choose a Regus venue in this key area, you’re placing your event within this exclusive business hub. Hosting your meetings here will not only lead to chance encounters with other industry professionals but will also raise your profile with the clients and stakeholders you meet with.
4. Economic powerhouse
With a pivotal role in the UK economy, Westminster is a key focus area for professional services businesses. Book a meeting room in one of our centres and the heart of the UK’s political and diplomatic sector is on your doorstep.
Westminster's economy is both vibrant and influential, contributing over £72 billion in Gross Value Added in 2022. This impressive figure underscores the area's significant impact on the nation's economic health.
It positions Westminster as a prime location for professional growth, making it an ideal setting for ambitious business meetings and events.
5. World-class business clusters
Professional services businesses are at the core of Westminster’s thriving economy. The area is a hub for legal professionals, architects and engineering consultants.
Westminster is home to over 52,000 businesses as of 2022, with key industries including professional, scientific, technical services and many others. This diversity both drives the area's economic vibrancy and offers a fertile ground for cross-sector collaboration and innovation.
The city also plays a pivotal role in London’s job market. It demonstrated its capacity as a major employment centre in 2021 where it held over 767,000 jobs.
This concentration of businesses and employment opportunities fosters a robust business environment. It makes Westminster an ideal location for meeting, networking and professional growth.
6. Cultural significance
As highlighted earlier, Westminster is renowned for housing some of the world's most celebrated landmarks. Iconic sites like Buckingham Palace and Big Ben position it as a major global tourist attraction.
The presence of these historical and cultural treasures adds a layer of prestige and distinction to the area.
This rich historical context elevates the stature of meeting rooms in Westminster. Choosing a venue near Parliament, for instance, provides both a remarkable setting and gravitas to your meeting. Such a location is suited to make a lasting impression on your clients.
