Outdoor Space Venues

At UVL, we believe that there's no better way to connect with your team than on a corporate away day at a sophisticated outdoor venue, and London, being one of the greenest cities in the world, certainly has no shortage of luxurious parks, open spaces and event areas to escape to; even in the centre.
