A totally unique meeting venue has opened it’s doors in London. Available for corporate hire, this amazing 23-metre long and 10-metre high free-standing structure called the Neuron Pod has now opened at Queen Mary University of London’s Whitechapel campus. Construction of Neuron Pod began in April 2018 and it involved welding together 13 large steel sections, each arriving one by one through the Dartford Crossing, with some requiring police escort due to their size!

The building is the brainchild of the late Professor Will Alsop. The unique design represents images of a nerve cell. If you click here you will see a timelapse of the Neuron Pod construction.
