It is now possible to go on a luxurious holiday in the middle of the forest! New tree house accommodation has just opened in Longleat Forest, which is only 2 hours’ drive away from London. As you can imagine this isn’t an old rickety tree house built with scrap wood It is two-storey accommodation located in the 400 acres of woodland with 4 deluxe en-suite bedrooms with private balconies,

Having rolled out of bed on the right side morning (you may seem surprised), I’ve set myself the task of researching hotels with

What better way to do this than at the London Zoo Late Night! We were greeted upon arrival by a throng of twenty – something’s hiding in the entrance, sheltering from the very heavy rain. As we had not been able to print off our tickets we asked a member of staff were we had to go to collect them. They did not know. Nor did the next member of staff. Third time lucky

After a particularly busy week, CL Events thought it was about time we sampled some Kanaloa Cocktails for ourselves! As you enter you are given a flower garland, and as you step in further you truly feel you have been transported to a Hawaiian holiday resort, well, sort of, if you ignore all the suits around! Happy hour, or as I should call it ‘ Club Tropicana’, is from 4 – 8pm weeknights including Fridays, and is definitely worth a

The 2012 Olympics will not only regenerate one of the poorest areas of London, create 3,000 jobs and increase our economic growth by 70m, but, as every Londoner knows, when the spotlight is on us Brits – we will up our game considerably. So why not take advantage of the enthusiasm of every Londoner and every London venue by making London the destination for your conference. CL has in depth knowledge of London venues as well as the ability to

Having read all about the “most ambitious hotel restoration project in British history”, I decide The Savoy Grill at the infamous Savoy Hotel should be the destination for such an event! Though I thought it could be a tad ambitious to book a table so last minute, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were able to offer me a table for four at 3pm. As you

Will this boost our presence, really, or are we just jumping on the band wagon because Twitter is sooo 2011? We’re giving it a bash so feel free to comment, happy with constructive criticism too 🙂
Read more →Parkstead House Category: Venues | On a cold November night, CL were invited for drinks and canapés at Parkstead House, a beautifully restored country house nestled in the grounds of Roehampton University. Just five miles from Central London, Parkstead House provides a relaxed country environment without having to travel for house. If you’re looking for a versatile suburban venue, it’s definitely worth taking a look at. With sweeping views across Richmond Park, Parkstead House one of the most beautiful places in the ever increasing concrete jungle of South West London . The versatility of the meeting space is definately something to note. If you
