Why come along to this networking group?


You may feel that you’re just not getting the right type of referrals with networking and in particular networking groups in the past.

Our Networking members are there to do business in a professional structured setting. They may have employees themselves or are keen to upscale their business, and are based right across London, the UK and internationally.

About our Mayfair / West End Location:

Our IWant2Network London Wren group meet in the iconic Wogan House, a venue rich in history and elegance, located in the heart of Mayfair.

Formerly a BBC building, Wogan House is nestled between the luxurious neighbourhoods of Fitzrovia, Marylebone, and Soho. That's not all, we meet in the legendary Desert Island Discs room, a space that exudes creative energy and timeless charm.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect and be inspired in this prestigious setting!

Purchase a visitor trial ticket. Ticket is taken off the price of membership should you decide to become a member within 5 working days of your first visit.

Who are IWant2Network?


We have two areas to our business. Our IW2N groups who meet monthly, and our IWant2Network London events.

As an IW2N London or Essex Group member, you can visit other groups for free, connect with professionals across industries, and access our IW2N Networking Events designed to help you build meaningful relationships for free or for discounted rate (depending on membership).

Our IWant2Network London networking event pass gives you unlimited access to our London and online networking events, to connect with professionals across industries.

The only events not included are our Groups, but as a pass holder, you’ll receive an exclusive discount if you decide to join one!

Our IWant2Network events are our London attraction-type sessions. Think British Museum, Axe Throwing, Escape Rooms, or even Buckingham Palace. So there is a real blend of fun and traditional boardroom style.

We like to have fun, but ultimately it's about networking being effective, productive and enjoyable.

We name all our groups after iconic people

  • Online Groups - QE2, Brunel, Foster
  • London Groups - Wren, Turing, Darwin, Churchill, Dickens
  • Essex Groups - Augustus, Marconi

We have a members' WA group where all members can connect with one another.




What are the key membership benefits of joining an IW2N London Group?


We very much focus on quality rather than quantity. Your time needs to be maximised. We therefore price our membership to include lots of added value and nothing else to pay.

  • Smaller groups offering better relationships
  • Visit our other IW2N Groups for free (category permitting)
  • Free attendance at our Speed60 events
  • Free attendance at our Industry events
  • Free space at our Quarterly Socials in London
  • Connect with all members of both IW2N Group and IW2N Pass Holders in our members' WhatsApp group
  • Very proactive in passing referrals between members in other groups (without pressure)
  • Up to 6 IWant2Network Events, discounted thereafter
  • Up to 8 Hot Desking club spaces, discounted thereafter
