NQ64 offers a corporate event package with a refreshing twist: hours of retro gaming, contained within a space that recalls the fever dream of a fifteen-year-old pot noodle enthusiast.

A gymnasium isn't what you usually have in mind when planning a corporate event but the German Gymnasium is anything but ordinary.

Today, the venue (which still stays true to its German roots) is home to a grand café, a restaurant, two bars and an outdoor terrace. Expect high ceilings, plush interiors and unique ambience.

Located in the heart of Kings Cross and with a capacity to host 500 people, the German Gymnasium is a great option for a large corporate event in London.

Lastly, if you need to give a presentation during your event The Cellar Bar is the place. And if you can’t decide between the spaces, you can always hire the entire venue with a total accommodation of 350 guests.

Thinking of switching up the typical corporate event venue? Well, maybe it’s time to take up a few knots for your next conference or networking event.
