About
We think you'll love the flexibility of the River Centre – our modular ground floor spaces can be combined together or divided up to create just the right layout and experience you want. We’re especially proud of our Breakout Spaces, which can hold up to 100 people and be arranged in a variety of ways for those unstructured meetings and collaborative sessions. And of course, all our spaces come with hi-speed Wi-Fi internet.
In addition, the venue comes with a stunning entrance Foyer. It features a floor to ceiling glass-fronted entrance with a magnificent circling grand staircase, providing an abundance of natural daylight for daytime events, and providing an atmospheric environment in the evenings.
Access to the venue is easy by car or public transport. We are just 45 minutes from London by train (our local Tonbridge train station is only a 10-minute walk from the venue), and there are several car parks nearby.
