Discovering IoD HQ: A Productive Haven at 116 Pall Mall
London greeted me with its signature December chill—cold, wet, and grey. My schedule was packed with client meetings, topped off with a long-awaited reunion with my old Sandhurst Platoon. Between meetings, I finally had the chance to visit the Institute of Directors’ headquarters at 116 Pall Mall, a stop I’d been eager to make since joining the IoD over a year ago.
The grand entrance set the tone for a professional yet welcoming experience. The reception team was friendly and efficient, quickly printing my membership card and walking me through the registration process. From there, Ina, the IoD Membership Ambassador, provided a detailed tour of the historic building. She expertly highlighted the various workspaces, meeting rooms, and lounges, explaining how to make the most of the facilities.
I settled into one of the spacious work areas near the main reception—a perfect spot to recharge both myself and my devices. With table service for beverages, I seamlessly transitioned into catching up on correspondence while enjoying a latte and sparkling water.
Though my visit was brief, it left a lasting impression. The combination of elegant surroundings, state-of-the-art facilities, and attentive service made 116 Pall Mall a standout destination for any professional seeking a productive base in the heart of London. A special thanks to Ina for her warm hospitality and insightful tour.
I look forward to making 116 Pall Mall a regular stop on future trips. If you’re an IoD member yet to visit, it’s a resource well worth exploring.
