The etc.venues story:

Nearly 20 years ago, a group of trainers and organisers began the etc story. They realised that the ideal space for their needs did not exist – so they set out to create it for themselves.

They needed training, meeting and event space that inspired and captivated their clients – an environment dedicated to learning.

They wanted rooms to have unbroken sight lines and flooded with natural daylight to maximise concentration and provide great visibility. Communal areas would house inspirational works of art, to engage the clients and get them thinking and talking. Furniture and facilities would be of the best of quality, from 8-hour ergonomic chairs to built-in AV and climate control systems.

Using these ideas combined with their specialist knowledge they opened their first venue in 1992 in South London and the rest is history. etc. venues continues to grow from strength to strength, recently expanding its 10th venue due to client demand, and winning awards for ground breaking space.

Brand values:

• Location, location, location – all our London venues are located in zone 1 and are a short walk from public transport.
• Value for money – no event is the same so whether it’s a simple cost per head or room hire, catering with extra requirements; we create a tailored package for all our clients.
• Accessibility – we are committed to welcoming clients with disabilities. Our venues provide information and facilities for those with either mobility or sensory disabilities.
• Quality of space and facilities – rooms with natural daylight and movable walls allow you to shape the perfect room for you. You won’t find pillars in our rooms or any obstructed sight line, so all your delegates get the same opportunity to watch and participate.
• Previous Experience – with nearly 2 decades experience in managing a variety of training programmes, conferences and meetings for public and private sector clients, we have the expertise and know-how to deliver flawless service.
• We care about our environment – We take our corporate social responsibility seriously and you’ll see this from our approach to recycling, links to community projects and groups – even the delegate pads we give you are made from sustainable forests.
