When will Cavendish Venues Re-Open ?
Perhaps Holland offers some example. Yesterday the Dutch Prime Minster announced a detailed time table as to when different industries would be re-opening, welcome clarity! I guess for the conference venues in London the key points are that places of assembly can open for up to 100 attendees as long as social distancing of 1.5m is followed from the 1st of July.

Large events
The government has not yet made a decision when it comes to holding large events, such as festivals and concerts. This decision will likely be made before September 1.
Travelling
Travelling is still restricted to essential travel only. Easing up this rule will also depend on other countries.
Working from home
The NOS reports it is likely that working from home will remain the norm for the rest of the year, as well as keeping a 1.5-metre distance from others, washing your hands and coughing in your elbows. However, the message of the Dutch government of “stay home as much as possible” has been changed to “stay home if you have symptoms”.
