London Networking Hospitality Industry & Venues | Prince Alfred Bayswater

Looking to grow your network in London’s buzzing hospitality and venue scene, or currently work at a London venue and want to connect in your industry? Join us for an afternoon of lively conversation, meaningful industry connections, and a one-of-a-kind experience designed to bring people together.

🎯 A game of shuffleboard
🥤1 x Soft drink included for every guest + nibbles
🤝 Curated networking with professionals across the hospitality, events, and venue industries
🎲 An engaging and unique atmosphere that makes networking feel natural and memorable

This isn’t your standard networking event – it’s a relaxed way to connect with venue managers, hospitality suppliers, event professionals and business owners while in a more relaxed environment than your traditional networking event in London.

Whether you’re a venue host, event organiser, hotel, London attraction, or service provider looking to expand your reach in the industry, this is an afternoon well spent.

🎟 Tickets are 2 for £20 | Free for IWant2Network members
Spaces are limited, so secure your place early.

If traditional networking groups haven’t delivered the right referrals or business opportunities, it’s time to try something different.

At IWant2Network, we bring together ambitious professionals who are serious about building relationships and growing their businesses. Our attendees often manage teams, run venues, or offer services across the hospitality industry — locally in London, across the UK, and even internationally.

Here’s what makes our sessions stand out:

📍 We host events in iconic and unexpected venues that spark conversation and leave a lasting impression

🤝 Our format is professional, structured, and results-driven — designed to help you connect with the right people

🔗 After each session, we’ll tag all attendees on LinkedIn, making it easy to continue conversations and build your network

📄 You’ll also receive a delegate sheet so you can follow up with everyone you met

If you're ready to network with purpose in places that inspire, we’d love to see you at the next session.

Right in the heart of Bayswater, The Prince Alfred has been bringing people together as part of the Queensway community since 1851. While they're proud of their history, they are all about the here and now, a friendly, modern Bayswater pub where great food, quality drinks, good music and a bit of friendly competition all come together.

Built around people, their pub is made for any occasion. Drop in for a quick weekday lunch, swing by for after-work drinks with live music, or settle in for a night of competitive socialising with AR darts and shuffleboard.

Whether you’re a Bayswater local, part of a nearby office, or just passing through West London, you’ll always find a warm welcome here.

📍 Location: Prince Alfred, Bayswater, London

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, Shakespeare
• London Groups - Wren, Turing, Darwin, Churchill, Dickens
• Essex Groups - Augustus, Marconi, Earhart

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

If you're a London venue looking to build real relationships, showcase your space, and attract the right kind of clients — our IWant2Network London Venue Pass is the ideal way to get involved.
