If you’re searching for meeting room hire in Windsor, Berkshire or West London, our venue offers the ideal balance of accessibility, privacy and character.
Meeting room hire with a difference
You’ll struggle to find a meeting room near West London that compares to Cumberland Lodge. We’re a 350-year-old country house (and former royal residence), in the middle of Windsor Great Park. Surrounded by lawns, woodlands, ancient trees and wildlife, visitors often feel as though they are miles away from urban life and its distractions. But for all this peaceful atmosphere and sense of seclusion, we’re only a few miles away from major motorways, rail links and Heathrow airport, putting us within easy reach of London, the rest of the UK and the world.
For organisations looking for meeting rooms close to London or a meeting venue near Heathrow, Cumberland Lodge provides a unique alternative to city-centre hotels and office spaces.
A charitable mission
When you hire a meeting room at Cumberland Lodge, you’re also supporting the work of a charitable initiative. Cumberland Lodge isn’t just the name of a building – the historic home gave its name to a social enterprise that has been here for over 70 years. Our main work is with students and young people, fostering ideas and understanding of ethical leadership, critical thinking and dialogue and understanding across generations and backgrounds. Hiring a meeting room directly funds and supports this work – and we create experiences that bring people together, inspire meaningful conversation, and encourage the exchange of ideas – setting the perfect atmosphere for your meeting or event.
Low and high-tech meeting spaces
When hosting educational retreats, we’re all about being “low-tech” so that students are able to disconnect from their devices and reconnect with themselves, others, and nature. We always encourage those booking our facilities and spaces for other purposes to try this approach and make the most of our unique surroundings.
Of course, we appreciate that the modern world – and modern business especially – relies on connectivity. We embrace technology as a working tool. Depending on the size, our meeting rooms all feature either built-in audio-visual and display equipment or can have it provided on request. They’re all well-served with power points, data connections and WiFi.
Cumberland Lodge can provide your corporate meeting room hire with everything you need to have a productive and efficient meeting. But we’d recommend a ‘no phones’ rule at dinner or when socialising in our Sitting Room – let your colleagues and guests make the most of this amazing space.

The importance of staff workshops
Workshops create structured, hands-on sessions designed to encourage collaboration and problem-solving. They help teams develop new skills, strengthen communication and build meaningful connections across departments and organisations. Hosting workshops away from the usual workplace can boost engagement, creativity and morale.
Types of staff workshops you can do
There are many different types of staff workshops you can do, from staff development workshops to mental health workshops. The great thing about these workshops is that you can base them on any topic you like. Some of the most popular workshop choices you can do are:
- Staff development workshops: A workshop that provides a short-term training programme for employees. It should focus on specific areas, topics or skills to help staff gain knowledge.
- Conflict resolution workshops: This teaches staff effective techniques for resolving disputes in the workplace. Staff will be able to identify the causes of conflicts, develop listening skills and grow problem-solving skills.
- Mental health workshops: A workshop that helps in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues that can be caused by the workplace.
- Ethics and compliance workshops: This focuses on encouraging ethical behaviour and outlines your company’s policies. Staff can understand ethical dilemmas, discuss the company’s policies and learn about consequences.
- Team-building workshops: A workshop that is designed to strengthen teams and improve team performance. Staff can understand each other more, have open communication and feel like they belong in the company.
- Employee engagement workshops for staff: An interactive workshop that is made to strengthen connections between staff and your company. It builds trust, collaboration and motivation.
From outdoor team challenges to strategy sessions and facilitated discussions, our team will work with you to shape a workshop experience that meets your goals.
Boardroom hire for executive meetings and strategy days
For senior leadership meetings, strategy sessions and client presentations, a dedicated boardroom environment can make all the difference. At Cumberland Lodge, we provide professional, private spaces designed to support focused discussion, confident decision-making and meaningful collaboration.
Our meeting rooms can be configured in classic boardroom layouts with oval, circular, semi-circular or U-shaped tables, accommodating groups from six to 48 people. Whether you’re hosting a quarterly board meeting, meeting investors or bringing senior teams together from multiple locations, we offer a setting that feels both professional and inspiring.
Many organisations choose boardroom hire when their own office space is too small, unavailable, or simply not suited to high-level meetings. Hosting off-site also helps remove everyday distractions, giving participants the time and space to concentrate on long-term planning and strategic thinking.
All boardroom spaces include reliable connectivity, power access and audio-visual equipment where required, with additional breakout rooms available for smaller discussions. Our in-house catering team can provide refreshments, working lunches or formal dining, and 60 en-suite bedrooms make multi-day meetings easy to manage.
Set within Windsor Great Park yet easily accessible from London, Heathrow and the wider South East, Cumberland Lodge offers a calm, private and well-connected location for executive meetings and boardroom hire.
