The Clubhouse, a new event destination has opened on the eighth floor of Space House — a Grade II listed Brutalist landmark in London’s West End.
Completed in 1968, during the first few years of space exploration, Space House was designed to inspire bold thinking. Seaforth Land has led the recent redevelopment of Space House to deliver an ultra-sustainable award-winning building. Sustainability credentials include BREEAM Outstanding and Fitwel certifications, zero-waste catering, and regenerative partnerships.
The Clubhouse is operated by workplace hospitality services provider, Bennet Hay, who manage and operate some of the capital’s most progressive workplaces.
The Clubhouse and its expansive terrace offer panoramic views of London’s skyline and the neighbouring canopy of tree-lined avenues. The 2,300 sq.ft. event space can host around 80 guests theatre-style, or be reconfigured for more intimate, conversation-led gatherings. With 4,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space wrapping around the main venue, capacity can easily be increased to accommodate up to 100 guests for alfresco events. Menus reflect the seasons — showcasing small-batch producers and artisans committed to making a positive impact on both the environment and the guests they serve. Inside, the interiors pay homage to the building’s original architecture and visionary design.
Zoë Watts, Managing Director of Bennett Hay, commented:“We’re excited to bring this iconic building to life as an events space in the heart of the capital’s cultural hub. Significant work has gone into the development of The Clubhouse and the wider Space House, readying its heritage and Grade II status for a new generation of thought leaders and changemakers. By drawing on the circular economy in how we operate food and drink, we’re striving to assert that — quite literally — the impact of your events shouldn’t cost the earth.”
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
