Plus, no one on your team will expect it, so you're sure to blow them away with your creativity.
Lee Valley White Water Centre was specially built for the London 2012 Olympic Games, a fact that we think will make your colleagues even more excited to visit. When planning your event, start by identifying the right meeting space for you, of the four to choose from. The main meeting room, for example, boasts sleek, polished wood walls, has plenty of natural daylight and a capacity of up to 125 people.
Conference Rooms A and B have a capacity of between 50 and 60 people, as well as audio technology, conferencing equipment and wide-screen TVs, while the Lakeside Cabin is the perfect place for creative sessions with a view of the 10,000m2 lake and capacity for up to 40 people.
Other facilities to note are that car parking is available, wifi is free and there are break-out rooms on-hand, ready for refreshments. There's also the option to add catering, which the events team will be happy to help you with or you can book a table in the Brew Street Kitchen and Bar or Taverna on the Terrace which specialises in authentic Greek souvlaki wrap.
As for activities, challenge your team to try out the 160 metre long white water slalom course or to get out on the lake for a session of water-based games and activities.
