It is also an ideal location for combining multiple activities into a larger office social or team event.

Workshops at Unwined Waterloo

Unwined Waterloo is one venue we regularly partner with for corporate workshops and team events.

The venue works particularly well because it combines:

• a relaxed atmosphere

• wine bar setting

• central location

• flexible group space

• heated outdoor terrace

• perfect for groups of 22 or less

  
  

Many teams choose to combine a workshop with:

• wine tasting

• drinks afterwards

• food sharing boards

• networking events

  
  

This creates a more complete social event while still keeping the workshop as the main activity.

Combining Workshops With Other Waterloo Activities

One reason Waterloo works so well for team events is that there are many nearby activities within walking distance.

Popular combinations include:

• workshop followed by dinner on the South Bank

• drinks overlooking the river

• team lunches before the workshop

• theatre trips afterwards

• riverside walks

• food market visits

  
  

Many companies choose to create a more flexible social evening rather than a rigid structured team-building session.

Using the Uber Boat as Part of the Event

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers can actually become part of the event experience itself.

Some teams choose to:

• travel together along the Thames

• have drinks onboard before the workshop

• use the boat journey as a more social start to the evening

The onboard bar can work especially well as a relaxed pre-event meeting point before arriving near Waterloo.

This tends to create a much more memorable atmosphere than simply travelling separately to a standard office event.

Why Workshops Work Well for Team Building

Creative workshops tend to work particularly well for corporate groups because:

• they encourage conversation naturally

• there is no pressure to perform

• guests can participate at their own pace

• they suit mixed personalities and abilities

• people leave with something they have made themselves

For many companies, this creates a more relaxed and inclusive atmosphere than more competitive team-building activities.
