Holborn is a lovely area of central London that's perfect for hosting a team away day. Located just north of the River Thames, Holborn has a wealth of quirky and unique venues that are guaranteed to make your team away day stand out from the rest.

The area is also known for being full of historical landmarks, from the grand British Museum to the awe-inspiring St Pauls cathedral. Its location also means it's extremely well connected, with access to five tube stations (Holborn, Chancery Lane, Temple, Covent Garden and Russell Square) and several bus stops.

Teams staying in one of our centrally located properties will find themselves just moments away from some of London's most popular tourist attractions, including Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square.

How to find the perfect venue

Finding the perfect venue for your team away day can be difficult. You want to make sure that your venue is a good fit with what you're looking for, and it can be hard to know where to start.

In order to find the perfect venue in Holborn, you should think about what type of away day you're looking for, what amenities you need, and what the purpose of the day is. 

If you are looking for an activity-based away day, then it may be best to find a venue with a large space in which many activities can take place. If it is more important that your team all sits down together, then look at venues with a large meeting room or dining room. Similarly, if food and drink are important then make sure that you ask about the catering options when booking your venue.

There's an option out there for everyone but if you don't know what you're looking for this will quickly get overwhelming. On the other hand, if you do know what you need you’ll be sure to find plenty of alternatives.

Why a team away day is a good idea

A team away day is a day out of the office helping the team connect and get them inspired by a change of environment. It’s a chance for your team to escape the confines of their usual working environment and have some fun together in a more inspiring setting.

But it’s also a great way to get your employees to relax and socialise, which can be hugely beneficial when they return to work. As well as helping build a strong team, an away day will help with fostering new relationships between staff who might not usually interact.

Away days are also a great opportunity to discuss any issues within the team or within the company as a whole, in an informal setting where everyone feels relaxed and at ease. This can be really helpful in building up trust between employees and management and helps to create a stronger sense of community in your company.
