Successful business networking in or around London needs a lot of personal confidence and social savvy. It also needs a very open mind because London has a very diverse population, many have come over from France, Spain, Russia, India, Greece, Australia, New Zealand and even from America.

London also has some of the best locations for networking because they are quiet, easy to find (and get to) and because there is a lot of standing room.

Here is a list of some of the best networking venues in or around London :-
