As a property management and advisory consultancy to The Langham Estate, a 13.8 acre holding in the heart of Central London, we have worked closely in collaboration with First Option Venues Ltd for over 12 years. They have provided a highly dependable interim space management service for a number of our property assets and a valuable additional source of income derived from their provision of  temporary event and pop-up activity. They have proved themselves professional in all areas of their modus operandi. As operators and masters of their business model I would recommend them without reservation to any prospective private or commercial landlords.
