10 Team Activities and Socials in London for You and Your Team

We have all proved over the last 18 months that we no longer need to be sitting next to each other to get our work done. We don’t even need to be in the same city, or the same country, but we do know from research we recently conducted that we need to be seeing our workmates on a regular basis. We think the best way to do so is through team socials on a regular basis.

We spoke to over 1000 UK employees and 94 percent told us that seeing colleagues on a regular basis now that the lockdown has ended is really important to them, while 87 percent said meeting colleagues in person was important for their mental health.

This doesn’t mean businesses have to revert back to the traditional 9–5 office model, it just means it might be time to think of more creative ways of getting your team together on a regular basis. With that in mind, here are our top 10 team social ideas to help you get started:
