Business Trip Tips

• If you’re flying into London, try to fly with hand luggage only, or at least keep all your essentials in your hand baggage. This helps to avoid stress and embarrassment if you don’t have the clothing or paperwork you need for important meetings, should the rest of your luggage become delayed.
• Stay in a central location in the city. London is huge and you don’t want to waste time every day travelling from the suburbs to your appointments.

Choose a hotel that is suitable for hosting meetings, so you don’t always have to travel to your business contacts. The Athenaeum has meeting rooms available to hire, a lobby café, bar and Galvin at The Athenaeum by Michelin-star chefs – ideal for impressing your business contacts at a business lunch or dinner. The Athenaeum’s Residences also have living rooms and entertaining spaces – perfect for entertaining small groups of business guests.

If you can’t roam free of charge in the UK on your mobile phone, download a map app onto your phone that doesn’t require the use of mobile data, such as Galileo. It’ll give you some extra peace of mind that you’ll be able to get from A to B easily.
