Customer testimonials

The venue was well suited to our event (a departmental away day). The booking process was well handled by Shelter staff and we found the room prepared exactly as requested. The catering provided was excellent. Our team was very happy with our experience at Shelter and will definitely recommend the venue.

– The British Library

I really wish I had found you earlier – beautiful room with plenty of space and a great view, and for more than reasonable prices in central London. Thanks a lot to your staff also for sorting out the inevitable laptop issues.

– The Children’s Society

We were very impressed with the venue, especially with the amount of natural daylight the rooms have. The trainers went away saying they will be using these rooms in future.

– Profusion (Data science and marketing services)

Thank you for making the booking process easy and efficient, your staff are extremely approachable and helpful. The Seminar Room is an ideal space for our large meetings and having so much natural light is great.
