A meeting room Old Street booking is rarely just a meeting. It is a first pitch, a demo for a customer who flew in that morning, or the board call where the numbers get read out loud. The room has one job: to not be the thing that goes wrong.
For an overview of every option, see all available meeting rooms in London.
Wezoo lists four buildings that hire rooms by the hour within a 350-metre walk of Old Street station, in EC1V, EC1Y and EC2A. Their headline rates run from £52.01 to £180.00 per hour (incl. tax and fees) — a 3.46× spread across four doors you could walk between in five minutes. This guide explains what that spread actually measures, which is not what most people assume. For the wider picture beyond EC1, our complete guide to meeting rooms covers formats, pricing units and booking mechanics across every market.

Meeting room Old Street: what you can actually book
Four doors, ranked by the walk from the Old Street roundabout. Rates are the lowest published hourly price at each building, including tax and fees.
| Building | Postcode | Walk | Rooms | Seats | From (per hour) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Runway East Shoreditch, 52 Tabernacle St | EC2A 4NJ | 256 m | 7 | 5–10 | £63.60 |
| Mindspace Old Street, 142–146 Old St | EC1V 9BW | 297 m | 1 | 16 | £180.00 |
| Spaces Shoreditch, Epworth House | EC1Y 1AA | 312 m | 5 | 6–10 | £78.46 |
| Regus Old Street, 167 City Road | EC1V 1NR | 322 m | 7 | 4–20 | £52.01 |
The four doors are 66 metres apart in walking time. Hold that thought.
Runway East Shoreditch — 52 Tabernacle Street, EC2A 4NJ
The closest door to the roundabout, and the one that looks most like the neighbourhood: converted warehouse stock on a side street off Paul Street, four minutes on foot from the Northern line exit. Seven rooms, from a 5-seater at £63.60/hour to a pair of 8- and 10-seaters at £103.20. Every room carries a large display, a whiteboard and wifi.
One caveat worth knowing before you book: none of the seven rooms publish video-conference equipment. Bring your own kit if a partner is dialling in. Book Runway East Shoreditch on Wezoo
Mindspace Old Street — 142–146 Old Street, EC1V 9BW
The address is literally Old Street. Mindspace lists exactly one bookable room here, and it is a big one: 16 seats, £180.00/hour, with a large display, video-conference equipment, a whiteboard and wifi. This is the room for a board meeting, an investor update with the full cap table in the room, or a customer workshop.
It is also the reason the neighbourhood’s headline range looks alarming — more on that below. Book Mindspace Old Street on Wezoo
Spaces Shoreditch, Epworth House — EC1Y 1AA
It is named Shoreditch and it sits in EC1Y — but it is 312 metres from Old Street station and 811 metres from Shoreditch High Street. The map says Old Street. Five rooms, 6 to 10 seats, £78.46 to £91.61 per hour, all of them Interior boardrooms with a flip chart, a large display, video-conference equipment and a whiteboard.
Fully kitted, no windows. For a two-hour pitch that is a fair trade. Book Spaces Shoreditch on Wezoo
Regus Old Street — 167 City Road, EC1V 1NR
The deepest ladder in the neighbourhood: seven rooms running from a 4-seat boardroom at £52.01/hour to two 20-seat rooms at £141.24. The 20-seaters are the only rooms around the roundabout that configure as theatre, classroom, cabaret or U-shape — which makes them the demo-day and all-hands option, at £7.06 per seat per hour, the cheapest seat in EC1V.
One detail worth £0: this building has two 8-seat boardrooms at the identical £74.32/hour. One is Interior. One is Exterior, with natural light. Ask for the window — it costs nothing. Book Regus Old Street on Wezoo
How much does a meeting room near Old Street cost per hour?
From £52.01 per hour for a 4-seat boardroom, up to £180.00 per hour for the 16-seat room on Old Street itself, tax and fees included. The median headline rate across the four buildings is £71.03 — about 18% above the £60.00 median for London as a whole, which is what you would expect from a district three stops from the City.
That is the honest answer to the question as asked. It is also the wrong question, and the next section explains why.
Meeting room Old Street: the headline price is a room size, not a rate
Four doors. Sixty-six metres of difference in the walk. A 3.46× difference in the “from” price. Something has to explain that, and it is not the location — the location is, to within a minute’s walk, identical.
It is the size of the smallest room each building happens to own. The “from” price you see on any listing is the bottom rung of that building’s ladder, and the ladders start in different places:
| Building | Entry room | From (per hour) | Per seat, per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regus Old Street | 4 seats | £52.01 | £13.00 |
| Runway East Shoreditch | 5 seats | £63.60 | £12.72 |
| Spaces Shoreditch | 6 seats | £78.46 | £13.08 |
| Mindspace Old Street | 16 seats | £180.00 | £11.25 |
Read the last column. The meeting room Old Street market is far tighter than it looks.
Three of the four doors price their entry room within 36 pence per seat of each other. And the fourth — the £180.00 room, the one that makes the range look wild — is the cheapest seat of the four, at £11.25. It only looks expensive because Mindspace does not own a small room to advertise.
For context, the median entry room across all 166 priced London buildings holds 4 seats at £12.32 per seat per hour. Old Street’s entry seats land at £11.25–£13.08. The neighbourhood is not charging a startup tax. It is charging London, and one of its four doors simply starts at the top of the ladder instead of the bottom.
The rule that falls out of this: do not compare “from” prices. Compare the room you are actually going to sit in. Two buildings advertising £52 and £180 are not 3.46× apart on anything you will ever buy — they are selling different products, and the per-seat column is the only line that lets you see it. The same logic applies right across flexible workspace options, where the headline number and the unit it is attached to are two different facts.
What does a pitch room actually need?
Screen, camera, and a room that does not look sad. Old Street over-delivers on the first and is patchy on the second.
All 20 rooms across the four buildings carry a large display — 100%, against 69% of London’s 818 bookable rooms. Video-conference equipment sits on 13 of the 20 (65%, versus 52% for London), but it is not spread evenly: Regus, Spaces and Mindspace publish it on every room; Runway East publishes it on none. If your lead investor is joining from a Zoom link, that single line decides the building.
Natural light is the scarcer commodity. Five of the 20 rooms list it, all of them at Regus, and Spaces’ five boardrooms are all Interior. That is the trade Old Street asks you to make: fully-kitted windowless boardrooms, or the window and a longer walk. For a 90-minute pitch, take the kit. For a full-day workshop, take the window.
Where the rooms sit: Silicon Roundabout, EC1V and EC2A
Old Street is not a postcode. It is a roundabout where three postal areas collide, and the districts that touch it all start here and run away in different directions. That is why the four doors carry three different postcodes — EC1V, EC1Y and EC2A — while sitting within 66 metres of each other on the walk.
Two practical consequences. First, a listing named “Shoreditch” can be closer to Old Street station than a listing named “Old Street” — Spaces Epworth House is 312 metres from the roundabout and 811 metres from Shoreditch High Street. Second, EC2A is a ray, not an area: EC2A 4 is Old Street, EC2A 3 is Shoreditch, EC2A 2 is Liverpool Street. One district, three neighbourhoods, one digit apart.
All four buildings sit on the Northern line at Old Street, with the Great Northern platforms in the same station box; the TfL tube network puts Bank two stops south and King’s Cross three stops north. Angel is a 12-minute walk, Shoreditch High Street 10.
Old Street or Liverpool Street? Where to hold the meeting
If everyone in the room is a founder, an engineer or an early-stage investor, hold it here — this is the district the UK’s DCMS digital and creative sector statistics keep pointing at, and the register carries a sentence you do not have to explain.
If your counterparty is a bank, a law firm or a corporate development team arriving by train, Liverpool Street is 850 metres east and reads differently. And if the meeting is a client presentation where the room itself is part of the argument, the West End charges accordingly: our guides to meeting rooms in Mayfair and meeting rooms in Soho price that decision out.
Booking the room is often only half the day. If the team needs desk time before the pitch and a place to debrief after it, coworking around Old Street covers the same four buildings by the day, and virtual office addresses in Old Street covers the letterhead side.
How far in advance should you book?
Less far than you think. Every meeting room Old Street listing on Wezoo is bookable by the hour with no membership and no subscription, and free cancellation applies up to the window shown on each room’s listing page. The practical constraint is not availability — it is the 16-seat room, of which the neighbourhood has exactly one.
Book small rooms days ahead. Book the big room the moment the date is set. If you need a boardroom for a specific hour rather than a specific building, our guide to renting a meeting room for an hour walks through the mechanics.
