The website shows boardroom and U-shape layouts in photographs but gives no capacity for them. The only stated figure for a meeting layout is conference style in the restaurant, which seats 15. Ask the team for the numbers in your layout before booking.
The Chambers can run events until 2 am, and access is step-free, which matters for conferences with guests who use a wheelchair.
