Foyles
Keeping with the cool, light aesthetic of our new store – designed by the awardwinning architectural firm Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands – our beautiful 205 squaremetre (2150 sq-ft) dedicated event space is poised as a blank canvas above the busy heart of London’s West End.
Occupying the top floor of our flagship building, our new flexible-use Level 6 is a venue for any type of event. Looking down on one side through our dramatic 50ft central atrium you’ll catch a glimpse of six levels of books and over a hundred years of company history, with full-length windows on the other side framing the arterial and eclectic Charing Cross Road.
Flowing upstairs from our Gallery and Leafi Café and accessible via lifts, Level 6 is designed to accommodate a variety of event formats. Whether you’re holding a conference or a private party, a drinks reception, launch or an awards ceremony, our space is designed to fulfil your requirements. Our friendly and professional events team has years of experience organising public and private events, and will work with you before, during and after your hire to ensure the experience is smooth and enjoyable.
With a WUXGA front projector, 3.5m electric screen and near-blackout blinds, Level 6 is great for screenings and presentations, along with an AV setup perfectly suited to delivering team training sessions. Collapsible staging, equipped with wireless and wired microphones, can accommodate speeches, discussion panels and performance. In addition, we offer the freedom to dress or brand the space as you desire
Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.7m (57 x 38ft)
Our Boardroom, which is suitable for up to ten attendees, is also available for private hire. It is perfect for a business meeting or presentation, an ideas session or a creative workshop. Bright and cool, this space is designed specifically for smaller groups.
With comfortable armchairs around a large central desk, this quiet hideaway can be equipped upon request with an AV system and video conferencing facilities.
