From historic landmarks to unique urban green spaces, London offers an exciting variety of indoor and outdoor spaces that you could hire for your company away day or team building event. While London itself is a vibrant backdrop, the team building venue you choose can make your event truly unforgettable.

Whether you’re looking for a venue that will impress your participants or a flexible space for a fun team building activity, we’ve put together a list with the best team building venues in London to help you find the ideal space for your next corporate away day.

More and more businesses throughout the UK are investing in team building events. Not only can they increase productivity and improve communication amongst staff, but they can also help develop problem-solving skills, which can be invaluable for business success. Let’s look closer at how team building events in London can benefit your business.

More and more businesses throughout the UK are investing in team building events. Not only can they increase productivity and improve communication amongst staff, but they can also help develop problem-solving skills, which can be invaluable for business success. Let’s look closer at how team building events in London can benefit your business.

Clear communication can often be the key to success in business, so it makes sense to take steps to improve how employees converse with each other. Team building events are the ideal way in which to develop their communication skills as they ensure that they must collaborate well if they wish to achieve success in the task.

What’s more, team building events are usually a lot of fun, and so provide the perfect setting for staff to get to know each other in a relaxed environment away from the office. This can help to build trust between employees.

The sheer fact that you’ve hired the services of a team building events company in London demonstrates to your staff that you care about their success within the company. Our team building events are designed to help them develop and improve new and existing skills, and this is a strong indication that the company is committed to its employees. As a result, they’re likely to reciprocate this investment by also investing in the business through hard work. A team of motivated employees who look forward to coming to work every day can accomplish great things for your business.

Team building games for employees usually involve a problem that must be solved. However, because this problem is simulated rather than real, employees may feel that there is less pressure on them compared to when problems arise in the workplace. This can help them to find ways to overcome hurdles to achieve a goal, and feel much more assured about their ability to do this. Staff develop problem-solving skills which they can then make use of in the workplace.

There are so many benefits to investing in team building events, both for your business and for your employees as individuals. We offer hundreds of different team building activities, from competitive challenges to creative workshops and charity endeavors. One thing’s for sure: fun is always on the agenda! No matter the size of your group and your budget, we can talk through your requirements and craft a custom team building experience for you.

This summer is the perfect time to get out of the office and into the sunshine. With our extensive experience in the corporate event industry, we have a wide selection of corporate summer party activities specifically designed for the warm spring and summer months.

The work summer party is a much-anticipated highlight on the work calendar as a mid-year escape where teams can ditch the desks and create memories in a fun and relaxed setting. It’s also a perfect opportunity to strengthen work relationships and say “thank you” to your team for their hard work.

Our diverse portfolio explodes with options, from outdoor challenges to indoor activities, there’s something for every team.

A charity team building event is an activity where colleagues work together on a project or challenge that results in a charitable contribution. Charity activities usually include volunteering time, building equipment for a cause, or sourcing and donating items for those in need. Regardless of the chosen activity, the aim is to participate in a project that gives back to the community while improving teamwork, strengthening relationships and boosting employee morale.

Incorporating a charity cause into your next team building event can enhance team motivation and create a lasting sense of accomplishment, knowing that your efforts are making a genuine difference to the lives of others, locally and globally.

Charity team building events offer employees a chance to participate in a meaningful shared experience where they learn to collaborate effectively, build trust and develop a deeper sense of purpose, leading to a more motivated and engaged workforce.

At GOTO Events, we’re passionate about the impact that team building can have on charitable efforts. That’s why, we’ve been working hard to increase our corporate charity events portfolio, offering a diverse range of engaging activities where teams can bond while making a real difference.

Supporting worthy causes not only benefits those in need, but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose within a team. This feel-good factor is central to the experience we’ve created at GOTO Events with our Putt for a Purpose charity team building event. This game of mini golf isn’t like any you’ve ever played before! We have taken the traditional game of mini golf and added a fun and charitable twist.

Instead of playing on a pre-made course, teams will build their own mini golf holes using materials from their supply pack or the creative zone such as cans and cereal boxes. Unleash your imagination and collaborate with your team to design and construct a challenging and fun hole.

Once all the holes are built, it’s time to test your putting skills and compete for the winning title. But the fun doesn’t end there! After the game, the team dismantles the course and all the materials used will be donated to a family in need or a charity of your choice. This sustainable aspect adds another layer of meaning to the experience, allowing you to combine your competitive spirit with charitable giving.

Many animal rescue shelters and sanctuaries rely on charitable donations to provide animals with a comfortable and enriching environment. In the UK, dedicated charities are struggling to provide furniture and feeders to the animals in their care.

GOTO Events’ Paws for a Cause is designed as a unique team building event that combines the joy of helping animals with the satisfaction of creating something tangible together. This charity activity allows your team to directly contribute to the welfare of animals in need by building feeders and furniture for local shelters.

This charity team building event starts with your host introducing you to the animal shelter you’ll be supporting and the specific needs of their furry residents. Next, your team will be guided through the planning stage where you will brainstorm ideas with your team. Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and build essential items for the animals, prioritising both safety and functionality.

Once each team has finished building their creations, the items will undergo safety checks and will be delivered to the shelters and installed for our furry friends to utilise. After the event, your team will receive a heartwarming video to showcase firsthand how the animals are using their creations.

Calling all animal lovers! Are you ready to make a difference to the life of animals in need? Find out more about the Paws for a Cause charity team building event.

Company fun days are lighthearted events organised by a company for its employees and sometimes for employees and their families.

They are an ideal way to boost morale, increase motivation and show appreciation to employees for all their hard work.

Organisations who host company days out will experience a multitude of benefits such as staff networking, interaction, team engagement and increased productivity.
