The Ned, London

Created in 2017, The Ned originated in the former Midland Bank headquarters, designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens in 1924. The opening of The Ned in 2017 was one of London’s most ambitious hotel launches in recent decades, with a team working tirelessly for five years to repurpose the iconic building and make it relevant once again. Today it houses Ned’s Club, a private members’ space, gym and rooftop, alongside a public spa, 10 restaurants & 17 bars and 250 hotel bedrooms. The private floor reserved for meetings and events will be where we will be hosting the Decisioning Congress.
