How much is a meeting room? The short answer.
A meeting room in the UK starts at about £11 per hour and reaches £216 per hour at the top end. The median rate is £46 per hour. London pulls the average up — its median sits at £64. Most regional cities (Edinburgh, Liverpool, Leeds) cluster between £28 and £38 per hour for an equivalent four-to-eight person room.
Half-day bookings (four hours) typically save 10–20% on the hourly rate. Full-day bookings (eight hours) usually save 25–40%. Hotel meeting rooms tend to undercut dedicated workspace operators on price; serviced-office brands like Regus, Spaces and Landmark sit in the middle; boutique workspaces and prestige London addresses sit at the top.
How much is a meeting room in London?
London has 131 meeting rooms on Wezoo, more than any other UK city. The price range runs from £15 per hour (hotel meeting rooms near major stations) to £216 per hour for boardrooms in Mayfair, the City and Canary Wharf. The London median is £64 per hour.
What you pay for in London: postcode, building reception standard, and natural light. A £25 room in Croydon or Wembley does the same physical job as a £125 room in St James’s — the difference is the impression on the client when they walk through the door. For internal team meetings and interviews, the cheaper end works fine. For a pitch where the venue is part of the message, the spend is the message.
Rooms near Liverpool Street, King’s Cross/St Pancras, Paddington and Waterloo typically sit between £40 and £85 per hour for a six-to-eight person room — the sweet spot for most professional bookings.
How much is a meeting room outside London?
Regional UK pricing is more forgiving. Across 288 meeting rooms outside London on Wezoo, the median rate drops to roughly £35 per hour. The rough city ranges:
- Manchester: £24–£84/hour, median £38
- Leeds: £12–£90/hour, median £34
- Birmingham: £18–£169/hour, median £41
- Bristol: £16–£76/hour, median £42
- Edinburgh: £11–£62/hour, median £35
- Liverpool: £19–£47/hour, median £28
- Glasgow: £24–£72/hour, median £62
- Belfast: £18–£49/hour, median £33
The picture is consistent: regional cities run 30–50% below London for an equivalent room. If your meeting can flex on location — interviewing a Manchester candidate in Manchester, or doing a Leeds-based client review in Leeds — the saving is real and the day usually goes smoother because nobody is on a train.
Hourly vs half-day vs full-day: how much is a meeting room for longer bookings?
Most UK meeting rooms publish three rates. The table below shows typical UK pricing for a mid-size meeting room (six to eight people) at the median end of the market:
| Booking length | Typical UK price | Effective hourly | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | £46 | £46/hr | Interviews, client check-ins, single-topic syncs |
| 2 hours | £85 | £42/hr | Sprint reviews, pitch rehearsals |
| Half-day (4 hours) | £155 | £39/hr | Workshops, training, client onboarding |
| Full-day (8 hours) | £260 | £32/hr | Offsites, board days, two-team planning |
The longer you book, the lower the effective rate. The decision point is usually the lunch break: if your meeting will run through it, a half-day or full-day rate normally beats stacking two hourly bookings with a gap in the middle.
What’s included when you ask how much is a meeting room?
When people ask how much is a meeting room, the headline rate is only half the story. Most UK meeting rooms include the basics in the hourly rate: Wi-Fi, a screen or TV, whiteboard or flipchart, water, and reception support. The extras that drive the price up:
- Catering — tea/coffee service, breakfast pastries, sandwich lunches. Typically £6–£25 per head, added on top.
- AV upgrade — Clickshare, video-conferencing kit, recording equipment. Some venues bundle it; others charge £25–£75 per session.
- Room layout — boardroom, U-shape, theatre, cabaret. Standard layouts are free; reconfigurations may incur a setup fee.
- VAT — most published prices in the UK include VAT, but always check. The 20% can move a £50 room to £60 quickly.
For a single-topic team meeting, the base rate is usually all you need. For client-facing bookings or training, budget another 30–60% on top of the room rate for catering and AV.
How much is a meeting room by the hour versus by the day?
Hourly is the right call when the meeting has a clear start, a clear end, and you’ll be out of the room when it’s over. Interviews, board updates, weekly client check-ins, project kickoffs — all work cleanly on an hourly booking with a 15-minute buffer either side.
Day rate is the right call when the meeting bleeds — a workshop that needs a lunch break, an offsite that runs from morning planning into afternoon working sessions, or a training day with multiple modules. Day rates also remove the awkward “do we have the room past 4pm?” question that breaks the flow of half the meetings that hit it.
If you book multiple rooms across the UK regularly, consider the wider complete guide to flexible workspace — meeting rooms sit inside a broader flex-office strategy that includes day offices and hot desks.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a meeting room in central London for one hour?
Most central London meeting rooms cost between £40 and £85 per hour for a six-to-eight person room. Prestige addresses in Mayfair, the City and Canary Wharf can run from £100 to over £200 per hour. Hotel meeting rooms near major stations are the cheapest central option, starting around £15 per hour.
How much is a meeting room for four people?
Small UK meeting rooms (two to four people) start at £11–£18 per hour in regional cities and £25–£45 per hour in London. The size of the room is one of the strongest drivers of price after location.
Is the price for a meeting room per person or per room?
UK meeting rooms are priced per room, not per person. The hourly rate covers the full room and stated capacity — so a £45-an-hour room that seats eight is £45 regardless of whether three or eight people show up. Catering, by contrast, is usually priced per head.
How far in advance should you book a UK meeting room?
For a one-hour booking in a major city, the same day is usually fine if you start looking before 10am. For half-day or full-day bookings, 48–72 hours’ notice gives you the widest choice. For end-of-quarter offsites and December dates, book two to four weeks ahead.
Are meeting room costs tax-deductible in the UK?
For limited companies and self-employed people, meeting room hire used for genuine business purposes is generally an allowable business expense. Confirm with your accountant and check the latest gov.uk guidance on business expenses for your specific situation.
Do UK meeting room prices include VAT?
Most published prices on Wezoo include VAT at 20%, but always confirm at booking. VAT-registered businesses can reclaim it; for sole traders and small firms not registered for VAT, the inclusive price is the price you pay.
What’s the cheapest UK city to book a meeting room?
Among major UK cities, Liverpool has the lowest median meeting room rate (£28/hour), followed by Belfast (£33), Leeds (£34) and Edinburgh (£35). Regional cities consistently run 30–50% below London.
