Meeting Room Soho: 7 Best W1 Venues, Rates and AV in 2026

A meeting room Soho search is never really about a room. It is about a pitch, a playback, a casting call or a client who has flown in for one afternoon, and it is about not being the person whose file will not open. Wezoo lists 7 venues and 26 bookable rooms across Soho and the W1 postcodes that surround it, from £21.00 to £138.00 an hour, and this is what the data says before you spend a penny. If you want the wider picture first, start with our complete guide to meeting rooms.

Here is the finding that should shape your meeting room Soho shortlist: sixteen of those twenty-six rooms have a screen. Eleven have a camera. Only four have both — and all four sit behind one door. Soho sells you a screen. It rarely sells you a camera.

How Much Does a Meeting Room Soho Booking Cost Per Hour?

The published from-rates across the seven venues are £21.00, £31.80, £48.00, £84.40, £91.20, £111.60 and £138.00 per hour, tax and fees included. The median is £84.40. That is a 6.6× spread between the cheapest door and the dearest, inside a district you can cross in twelve minutes.

The spread does not track the address. Huckletree’s Ingestre Court room, three minutes from Dean Street, is the cheapest hour in W1 at £21.00. The dearest, at £138.00, is a fourteen-minute walk away on Portland Place. Being deeper into Soho does not cost you more. Being in a room somebody has furnished for a client does.

For comparison, the editorial guides that rank for this term quote £40–£80 an hour as the Soho norm. That range is real, but it describes the middle of the market and quietly omits both ends — the £21 rooms below it and the £130-plus rooms above it. If you want the mechanics of hourly hire in general, we cover them in rent a meeting room for an hour.

The Playback Test: Which Soho Rooms Have a Screen, and Which Have a Camera

Soho runs on media. The UK government’s creative-industries estimates put the sector among the country’s fastest-growing, and this square half-mile is where a lot of it happens — advertising, film, post-production, casting. The meetings that fill these rooms are pitches, playbacks and edit reviews. Which means the question is not “does the room have wi-fi”. It is: can this room show my work, and can it show my work to someone who is not in the building?

Those are two different pieces of kit, and Soho’s rooms are split down the middle on them.

Rooms with both a screen and a camera: 4 — all four of them at Regus Piccadilly, 48 Warwick Street. Figures read from Wezoo’s live listings on 12 July 2026; rates include tax and fees.

Sixteen rooms can play your cut back. Four can put the client in the room. Every other camera-equipped room in W1 — seven of them — sits on Portland Place, more than a kilometre north of Dean Street. Inside Soho proper, if you need a screen and a camera in the same booking, you have exactly one address: 48 Warwick Street.

Two more numbers worth carrying into the booking. Daylight is rare: 7 rooms out of 26 list natural light, and five of those are at Oxford Circus. Nineteen of Soho’s rooms are windowless, which is fine for a screening and less fine for a six-hour workshop. And whiteboards are rarer still — five rooms in the whole set. If your session is a working session, check before you book, or bring paper. Our guide to what should be in a conference room runs through the rest of the checklist.

What Should a Meeting Room Soho Shortlist Actually Check?

Four things, in this order, because three of them are invisible on a listing photo.

1. Screen or camera? Decide which one the meeting genuinely needs. A pitch to people in the room needs a display. A pitch to a client in Los Angeles needs a camera. Only four rooms in W1 do both.
2. Is it actually in Soho? The W1B postcode runs from Warwick Street all the way to Portland Place. Same postcode district; fourteen minutes apart on foot. Filter on the address, not the postcode.
3. The door window. Every venue in this set is Monday to Friday only, and the latest close is 18:00. More on that below — it is the single most surprising thing in the data.
4. The seat count you actually have. Capacities run 2 to 20. Nothing in W1 seats more than twenty on Wezoo, so a thirty-person all-hands is a different search.

Get those four right and the booking is a formality.

The 7 Best Meeting Room Soho Venues in W1

Ordered by walking distance from the Old Compton Street and Dean Street junction — the centre of Soho by most people’s reckoning. Every rate is a from-rate, including tax and fees.

Runway East Soho — 66 Old Compton Street, W1D 4UH

Best for: a single, characterful room in the middle of Old Compton Street

The most Soho address on the list, and the shortest walk — 114 metres from the Dean Street junction, which is under two minutes even against Friday foot traffic. Runway East lists one bookable room here, seating nine, with a large display and a whiteboard. One room means one answer: it is either free on your date or it is not. Check it early. At £111.60 an hour it is the second-priciest door in W1, and you are paying for the postcode as much as the kit — which, for a client who wants to be met in Soho proper, is exactly the trade you want to make.

• Rooms: 1 · Capacity: 9 people
• Kit: 1 with a large display; 1 with a whiteboard
• Walk from Dean Street: 114 m (2 min)
• From: £111.60/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Runway East Soho on Wezoo

Huckletree Soho — Ingestre Court, Ingestre Place, W1F 0JL

Best for: the cheapest hour in W1, and the widest choice of room sizes

£21.00 an hour is the lowest published rate anywhere in W1, and it is not a stripped-back room — five of Huckletree’s six rooms here carry a large display, and tea, coffee and water are included. Sizes run from a two-person booth up to a fourteen-seater, which is the broadest ladder at any single door in Soho. Ingestre Court sits off Broadwick Street, three minutes from Dean Street and four from the Wardour Street edit houses. If your meeting is internal, or it is a first-round conversation where the room is not the point, this is where the money stops mattering.

• Rooms: 6 · Capacity: 2–14 people
• Kit: 5 with a large display
• Walk from Dean Street: 238 m (3 min)
• From: £21.00/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Huckletree Soho on Wezoo

Regus Piccadilly — 48 Warwick Street, W1B 5AW

Best for: the client pitch where somebody has to dial in — the only door in W1 with a screen and a camera in the same room

This is the room that passes the playback test. All four rooms at 48 Warwick Street list a large display and video-conference equipment and a whiteboard and a flip chart — the only address in the whole W1 set where those four things sit together. Two of the four are flagged Exterior in the layout data, meaning a window; the eighteen-seater is one of them. Capacity runs 8 to 18, every room is a boardroom configuration, and the hourly rate of £84.40 is almost exactly the W1 median. Warwick Street is inside Soho — a block east of Regent Street, two minutes from Golden Square — so you get the address and the equipment in one booking.

• Rooms: 4 · Capacity: 8–18 people
• Kit: 4 with a large display; 4 with video-conference equipment; 4 with a whiteboard; 2 with natural light
• Walk from Dean Street: 518 m (7 min)
• From: £84.40/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Regus Piccadilly on Wezoo

Elementa Regent Street — 120 Regent Street, W1B 5FE

Best for: a plain, quiet room on Soho’s western edge — bring your own kit

Two rooms, eight and twelve seats, on the Regent Street boundary that marks the western edge of Soho. The amenity list here is short and honest: wi-fi, and tea, coffee and water included. No display, no camera, no whiteboard is listed against either room. That is a real answer, not a failing — plenty of meetings are a conversation across a table, and 120 Regent Street also runs the widest door window in the set, 08:30 to 18:00. If your session needs to start before nine or run past five-thirty, this is the only room in W1 that will let it. Just do not turn up expecting to plug in a laptop and screen a cut.

• Rooms: 2 · Capacity: 8–12 people
• Kit: wi-fi and refreshments only — no display or camera listed
• Walk from Dean Street: 530 m (7 min)
• From: £91.20/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Elementa Regent Street on Wezoo

Huckletree Oxford Circus — 213 Oxford Street, W1D 2LG

Best for: daylight, and the biggest room you can get without leaving Soho

Daylight is the scarce commodity in Soho — only 7 of the 26 rooms in this set list natural light, and five of those seven are here. Every one of the six rooms carries a large display, sizes run from four up to twenty, and the from-rate is £31.80 an hour. 213 Oxford Street sits on Soho’s northern boundary, on top of Oxford Circus station and a two-minute walk to the top of Berwick Street. For a half-day workshop where people need a window and a screen, and where twenty is the number, this is the only door in Soho that answers all three.

• Rooms: 6 · Capacity: 4–20 people
• Kit: 6 with a large display; 5 with natural light
• Walk from Dean Street: 594 m (8 min)
• From: £31.80/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Huckletree Oxford Circus on Wezoo

Hale House (76–78 Portland Place) — 76–78 Portland Place, W1B 1NT

Best for: a remote client, or the only podcast-equipped room in W1 — but it is a 16-minute walk from Dean Street

Say this plainly: Portland Place is not Soho. It shares the W1B postcode with Warwick Street, but it sits 1,290 metres north of the Dean Street junction — a sixteen-minute walk, past Oxford Street and Cavendish Square. It earns its place on this list for two reasons. All five rooms carry video-conference equipment, which no room in Soho proper does except the four at Warwick Street. And the twenty-seat room is the single podcast-equipped room in the entire W1 set — one room out of twenty-six. At £48.00 an hour it is also the cheapest camera-equipped room in W1. If the meeting is a recorded conversation or a remote pitch, the walk is worth it. If the client is coming to you because you are in Soho, it is not.

• Rooms: 5 · Capacity: 5–20 people
• Kit: 5 with video-conference equipment
• Walk from Dean Street: 1,290 m (16 min)
• From: £48.00/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Hale House (76–78 Portland Place) on Wezoo

Hale House (42 Portland Place) — 42 Portland Place, W1B 1NB

Best for: a fourteen-seat video call in a listed Portland Place townhouse

The most expensive from-rate in the set at £138.00 an hour, and the same caveat as its sibling down the road — 1,145 metres from Dean Street, so fourteen minutes on foot. Two rooms, both seating fourteen, both with video-conference equipment. What you are buying is the Portland Place room itself: a townhouse on one of London’s grandest streets, which is a different kind of statement from a Soho edit house. Worth knowing it exists. Worth knowing it is a different neighbourhood.

• Rooms: 2 · Capacity: 14 people
• Kit: 2 with video-conference equipment
• Walk from Dean Street: 1,145 m (14 min)
• From: £138.00/hour, incl. tax and fees
• Book Hale House (42 Portland Place) on Wezoo

Capacity and Layouts: How Big Can a Meeting Room Soho Booking Go?

Twenty people. That is the ceiling across all 26 rooms, and only two venues reach it — Huckletree Oxford Circus and Hale House on Portland Place. Regus Piccadilly gets to eighteen. Below that, the ladder is dense: rooms at 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 18 seats, so almost any team size between two and twenty has more than one option.

On layouts, only Regus Piccadilly publishes explicit configurations — four boardroom setups, two of them flagged Exterior, meaning a window. Everywhere else the room comes as it comes. That matters more than it sounds: if you are planning a U-shape for a casting or a horseshoe for a workshop, ask before you book rather than after. It is the same lesson we found comparing meeting rooms in Canary Wharf, where the published capacity and the usable capacity were two different numbers.

Soho House and the Members’ Club Alternative

Soho’s other answer to “where shall we meet” is a members’ club, and it is a fair question whether that beats an hourly room. The honest comparison is about commitment, not quality.

A club is an annual membership, a waiting list, and a room you book as a member — the room is a benefit, not a product. It makes sense if you are in Soho weekly, if the social side of the building is part of the value, and if the person you are meeting is impressed by the door. It makes no sense for a Tuesday pitch three times a year.

An hourly room is the opposite trade. No membership, no subscription, no waiting list. You book the hours you need and you pay for those hours — £21 or £138, and nothing else. Book for the meeting. Pay for the room. If your workspace needs go beyond the occasional booking, our overview of flexible workspace options sets out where the line usually falls.

When Should You Book a Meeting Room Soho?

Earlier than you think, and for a reason that has nothing to do with demand.

Every one of the seven venues in this set opens Monday to Friday only. Not one of them lists a Saturday or Sunday hour. The widest door window in W1 belongs to Elementa at 120 Regent Street, 08:30 to 18:00; everyone else runs 09:00 to 17:00 or 17:30. In the district that gave London its late nights, the meeting rooms keep bankers’ hours.

Practically, that means a Soho room gives you roughly eight bookable hours a day, five days a week. An early breakfast pitch at 08:00 has exactly zero options. A 18:30 playback after the edit lands has zero options. If your meeting has to sit outside 09:00–17:30, the room is the constraint — not the diary. Book the first slot that works, because there are fewer of them than the district’s reputation suggests. We saw the same pattern in meeting rooms in King’s Cross, where the morning slots go first and the afternoon sits open.

Getting there is the easy part: Soho is bracketed by Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, all within a few minutes’ walk of every venue on this list. Check the day’s service on Transport for London before you promise a client a start time.

Meeting Room Soho FAQ

How much is a meeting room Soho booking per hour?

From £21.00 to £138.00 per hour across the seven W1 venues on Wezoo, tax and fees included. The median venue rate is £84.40 an hour. The cheapest is Huckletree at Ingestre Court; the dearest is Hale House at 42 Portland Place.

Which meeting room Soho venues have video-conference equipment?

Three of the seven: Regus Piccadilly at 48 Warwick Street (4 rooms), Hale House 76–78 Portland Place (5 rooms) and Hale House 42 Portland Place (2 rooms). Regus Piccadilly is the only one inside Soho proper, and the only venue in W1 whose rooms carry a screen and a camera together.

How many people can a meeting room Soho venue seat?

Between 2 and 20. The twenty-seat ceiling is reached at two venues only — Huckletree Oxford Circus and Hale House 76–78 Portland Place. Regus Piccadilly seats up to 18.

Can you book a meeting room Soho venue at the weekend?

No. All seven venues in this set open Monday to Friday only, and none lists a Saturday or Sunday hour. The widest window is 08:30–18:00 at Elementa on Regent Street; the rest run 09:00 to 17:00 or 17:30.

Is Portland Place a meeting room Soho location?

Not really. Portland Place shares the W1B postcode district with Warwick Street in Soho, but it sits 1.1 to 1.3 kilometres north of Dean Street — a fourteen- to sixteen-minute walk. It is included here because it holds most of W1’s camera-equipped rooms, but if your client expects Soho, book Soho.

Do meeting room Soho bookings include tea and coffee?

At most venues, yes. Huckletree (both venues), Elementa and Regus all list coffee, tea and water as included. Runway East and Hale House do not list refreshments against the room, so check when you book.

Meeting Room Soho: The Short Answer

Seven venues. Twenty-six rooms. £21 to £138 an hour. If the meeting is internal, Huckletree at Ingestre Court is the cheapest hour in W1 and it still has a screen. If it is a client pitch with somebody dialling in, 48 Warwick Street is the only room in Soho that can do both at once. If you need daylight and twenty seats, Oxford Circus is the only door that answers. And if you need a Saturday, Soho has nothing for you — which is the last thing anyone expects to read about Soho.

W1 is a postcode. Soho is a ten-minute walk. They are not the same thing, and the room you book should reflect which one your client is actually coming for.
