The average person spends around 35 hours a week at work. With so much time spent with your colleagues, it’s essential that — in turn — you invest in team-building activities that will help enhance creativity and a sense of working together.
London offers a range of opportunities for teams to bond, learn, and work together. Whether you’re looking to create a platform for new ideas,, inspire competition in your teams, or you’re merely looking for a great food place that takes group bookings, here are our recommended activities you should scope out for your team-building days near to our Myo office locations.
Foster creativity
Team-building activities are a great way to foster creativity within your team. Not only do they help to improve problem-solving skills and productivity, they are a fun opportunity to get to know your colleagues better.
Paint in the dark
Situated close to Victoria, Paint in the Dark is an artistic experience you won’t forget. Not only is the location vibrant and immersive, your team will spend time experimenting with colour and learning different techniques. The masterclass includes two free drinks – one at the beginning and one during the session – and all the necessary equipment.
Cocktail making
A fully interactive experience, enjoy a masterclass in mixology by making (and tasting) delicious cocktails. This is an inclusive activity; so, if you’re keen to keep things sober, there are plenty of non-alcoholic options available to use. Learn about the background of mixology and cocktails, and the fundamentals of making cocktails.
The Crafty Hen
Arts and crafts is a great way to get the creative juices and imagination flowing in a relaxed environment. The Crafty Hen offers a fantastic selection of activities, from ceramic painting to bunt making and wreath workshops.
Inspire competition
Some friendly competition can foster high levels of motivation within a team, because watching a colleague succeed makes you want to work harder. Make sure it stays friendly, though!
Puttshack
If you enjoy mini golf, this is the place for you. Close to our Bankside location, Puttshack has a selection of crazy, mini golf courses and a tasty food and drinks menu for those much-needed game breaks. Puttshack offers packages specifically for corporate events, such as team-building activities. So, it’s well worth getting in touch to see how they can help create a fun-filled afternoon or evening.
Flight Club
Situated close to our offices in Victoria, Flight Club is the epitome of friendly competition. There’s a large variety of dart games to keep your team entertained, not to mention a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy food and drinks during the summer months.
Sandbox VR
Ever wondered what it would be like to be served a drink by a robotic bartender? Well, here’s your chance. Sandbox VR has several arenas to play virtual reality games and can accommodate up to 150 people. The experience is conveniently located close to our New Street Square offices.
Get active
Similar to competition, getting active can build and increase motivation levels. Not only this, it’s also good for increasing mood and productivity, and a happy, productive workforce normally equals excellent business outcomes.
London Multi Activity Day
London Multi-Activity Days offer the opportunity to experience thrill-seeking activities over a half-day or full-day span. The activities can be organised as round-robin tournaments, fostering friendly competition. What you can expect to see on a London multi-activity day:
- Axe-throwing
- Archery
- Quad biking
- Paintball
- Off-road dirt buggies
- Hovercraft
The Crystal Maze Live Experience
Dubbed the ultimate team challenge, The Crystal Maze Live Experience is 75 minutes worth of team fun. It’s a perfect venue for corporate and team-building events, with tailored packages that include food and drink options.
Food & drink
Nothing brings a team together like food and drink. It offers the perfect opportunity to socialise with your colleagues and get to know them in a relaxed setting. Sometimes, this can be the much preferred option for an activity because it’s easier to talk and learn more about your team.
The Alchemist
The Alchemist has many locations across London, but excitingly one is opening very soon in Victoria. If you’re looking for magical, delicious cocktails and tantalising dishes, this is the perfect place to book your team-building activity.
Duck and Waffle
With stunning views of the city, Duck and Waffle is an excellent setting to enjoy some tasty food while watching the sun set. The restaurant has a dedicated events team that can assist with corporate bookings, so it’s worth getting in touch to discuss any requirements.
Flat Iron
Established in 2012, the year of the London Olympics, Flat Iron has grown more and more in popularity. Their ethos is to make eating steak accessible for everyone which we can certainly get behind. A great venue for a relaxed team-building experience.
