What 15Hatfields Say!
‘We couldn’t be happier with the 360° virtual tour produced by Hospitality Media for 15Hatfields. The team captured our spaces brilliantly, and the finished tour truly brings the venue to life online. It’s easy to use and allows our customers to explore every room, view different layouts and get a real sense of the venue’s versatility without needing to visit in person. It’s become a valuable tool for us, supporting remote enquiries and enabling us to offer live guided walkthroughs with clients. We’re really pleased with how it’s turned out and would highly recommend Hospitality Media to any venue looking to showcase their space online.’

15 Hatfields – Spheriq 360 – providing ‘competitive edge.’
Our partner, Custard Communications, identified that 15 Hatfields, London’s most sustainable event venue, could benefit from having 360 virtual tours on their website and came to us for this. 15 Hatfields is a location that has various event and meeting spaces throughout its building in Southwark, a stone’s throw from the River Thames, London Bridge and Waterloo.
Spheriq360 allows customers to visit yet not visit in the physical sense, providing a way of quickly seeing if the space is right for their event. The customer can meet a member of the sales and marketing team in the space who can then be given a ‘virtual tour’.
We spent 2 days at 15 Hatfields capturing the spaces on our 360 camera, which was then added to the software, creating a bespoke platform that works for them. Additionally, it was an ideal time to capture fresh imagery for the digital brochure of the range of room set-ups. Spheriq 360 will provide a competitive edge in 2026 and beyond!
Ten Reasons Why Your Business Needs Virtual Tours
Create a 24/7 Virtual Open House
Your doors are never closed. Allow potential customers from anywhere in the world, at any time, to walk through your venue, explore your products, or inspect your facilities. This provides unparalleled convenience and accessibility, breaking down geographical and time-zone barriers.
Transform Viewers into Leads with Live Guided Tours
This is the game-changer. You can join a visitor inside the tour for a live, one-on-one video call. Personally guide them through the space, answer their questions in real-time, and build a direct relationship, transforming a passive online visit into a powerful, personalised sales consultation.
Drive Direct Revenue with E-commerce & Booking Integration
Monetise your virtual space. Allow users to click on a product and add it to a cart, or click on a meeting room and connect directly to your booking system to reserve it on the spot. This transforms your tour from a marketing tool into a direct point-of-sale.
Tell a Deeper, Interactive Brand Story
Go beyond the visuals. Embed videos, photo galleries, downloadable PDFs, and audio clips directly into the tour. Showcase the history of a specific feature, display a menu for a restaurant table, or link to customer testimonials, creating a rich, multi-layered experience that educates and persuades.
Build Unbreakable Trust Through Transparency
In a competitive market, showing is always better than telling. A virtual tour demonstrates complete transparency, allowing customers to see exactly what they are getting. For venues, real estate, and hospitality, this builds immense trust and confidence before they ever set foot on the property.
Generate Highly Qualified, Purchase-Ready Leads
A visitor who spends several minutes exploring your space in detail is not a casual browser; they are a high-intent prospect. The tour acts as a powerful filtering mechanism, ensuring that the leads you engage with are already invested, educated, and closer to making a decision.
Gain a Powerful Competitive Edge
While your competitors rely on flat, two-dimensional images, you offer an immersive, engaging, and memorable experience. An advanced virtual tour makes your business look modern, tech-savvy, and customer-focused, creating a lasting impression that sets you far apart from the crowd.
Unlock Actionable Data & Customer Insights
With integrated analytics, you can track exactly how users interact with your tour. Discover which areas are most popular, what information hotspots are being clicked, and how people navigate through your space. This data is invaluable for optimising your marketing, sales, and even your physical layout.
Enhance Training and Internal Onboarding
A virtual tour isn’t just for customers. Use it as a consistent and effective tool to train new staff on facility layouts, emergency procedures, or key product locations, ensuring your entire team has a perfect understanding of the space from day one.
Dramatically Increase Engagement & ‘Stickiness’.
An interactive tour captivates visitors in a way static photos and videos cannot. By allowing users to explore at their own pace, you significantly increase the time they spend on your site, which sends powerful positive signals to search engines like Google and keeps your brand top-of-mind.
