The Best Team Away Day Venues in Clapham

Clapham is a very popular area in London, perfect for hosting an inspiring team away day. It has excellent transport links with easy access to the rest of London. As well as being close to the city centre, Clapham also boasts many green spaces including popular Clapham Common. The area provides idyllic settings for team events or even just for some team lunchtime sunbathing!

With a diverse range of pubs and bars to choose from in Clapham, it can be difficult to know where to start! There are plenty of venues that offer private hire rooms which would be perfect for hosting your team away day. If you're looking to host something more informal, why not consider one of the many beautiful beer gardens scattered across the area? After all, what better way to get to know your colleagues than over a few drinks?

A team away day can be a great way for colleagues to get to know each other on a deeper level and encourage team bonding. It’s an opportunity for staff to take a break from the office, do something new and get inspired. We think Clapham is a great choice for your next away day.

Why team away days work

Team away days are a great opportunity to do something out of the ordinary, to get everyone together and think outside of the box. They're also a great chance to have fun and connect with your team, especially if you're working remotely.

Here's what we've learned from our own experience in organising team away days at VenueScanner:

The goal of a team away day is to spend time together away from the office. You can do this wherever you like and for as long as you like. We usually go for at least a full day and find somewhere quite close to our office.

We have some rules for our team away days:

1) Everyone must attend – no exceptions! This is extremely important because it helps us build trust and rapport with each other as a company when we spend time together outside of our regular work.

2) Make it fun! We always try to make our team away days as fun as possible because if people aren’t having fun they won’t get creative and they won’t bond with each other. 

3) Bring your A-game! We want our team away day to represent our company at its best and we do this by everyone being in their best mood and hyping up the day well in advance. 

What to look for in a team away day venue

When it comes to finding a team away day venue, it can be difficult to know where to start.

There are so many factors that need to be considered when choosing the best location for your event. Here we have listed some of the most important things to look out for.

Audiovisual equipment – It is important that your chosen venue has all the audiovisual equipment required for your team away day. There is nothing worse than spending time and money on a venue that doesn’t have what you need. Make sure you check in advance!

Catering options – Food is always an essential part of any event, so make sure you check the catering options at your chosen venue. A good caterer will be able to offer a variety of meals, from breakfast through to dinner and everything in between.

Inspiring interiors – Everyone performs better when they are in an inspiring environment, so make sure you choose a venue with great interiors and decor.

Out favourite venues to host a team away day in Clapham

Our favourite venues in and around Clapham for hosting a team away day are The little orange door, The Wine Parlour, and Stane Street Syndicate.

The Little Orange Door – This unique venue is the perfect place to unwind, shake off the stresses of work and spend some time with your colleagues.  All food is prepared in house from locally sourced ingredients, and it's one of our absolute favourite venues in London.

The Wine Parlour – The Wine Parlour is a great mix of comfort and style. They serve all kinds of wine, beer and spirits, but of course, wine is your number one choice here. They have plenty of comfortable seating so you can relax while you enjoy your drinks. Though not technically in Clapham but in Brixton it’s a great choice for South East adventures. 

O’Neils – this venue has been around for a while and is a proper Clapham favourite.  It's a quirky bar that's great for team-building exercises as the friendly staff is always willing to accommodate your needs.
