Carrie’s expert take

“Savoy Place is a great choice when technology really matters. The AV facilities are excellent, but you also get a prestigious central London location, Thames views and a fantastic roof terrace, so it doesn’t feel like a conventional conference venue.”

Best for:
Conferences, tech events, product launches, presentations, awards, private dining and corporate receptions.
Standout:
The combination of high-spec technology and location. You’re right on the Thames with impressive river views, while the venue has the technical infrastructure for demanding conferences and events.
Good to know:
The Johnson Roof Terrace is a real bonus for drinks receptions and networking, particularly when you want to add an outdoor element to a conference or meeting without moving guests to another venue.
