Edwardian Oak-Panelled Library Room With Horseshoe Table for Formal Corporate Meetings

About the space

This distinguished library in London, dating to 1912, reflects Edwardian institutional architecture combined with traditional academic charm. Originally a research laboratory for the Medical Research Council, it has been thoughtfully repurposed and now houses the Royal Society of Medicine’s rare and historic book collection. This transformation offers a scholarly, refined backdrop for a wide range of corporate gatherings where heritage and professionalism meet.

The room’s architectural elegance is expressed through its oak-panelled walls, glass-fronted bookcases filled with rare volumes, classic parquet flooring, and a striking marble fireplace that lends a sense of formality. A unique fixed horseshoe-shaped table defines the layout, encouraging focused dialogue and structured discussion.

Integrated presentation technology is discreetly positioned to support seamless meetings and presentations, while air-conditioning ensures a comfortable environment throughout the day. The fixed U-shaped configuration accommodates up to 30 seated participants, making the space ideal for formal board meetings, executive planning sessions, presentations, and training. The blend of historical gravitas and functional design creates an inspiring setting for decision-making, professional debate, and strategic thinking.
