The Role

What Does a Corporate Receptionist Do in London?

A corporate receptionist in London sits at the intersection of hospitality, administration, and brand representation. In a Central London law firm, financial institution, or media headquarters, the role carries significant responsibility — often serving as the primary liaison between clients, C-suite executives, and building management. The best candidates combine impeccable interpersonal skills with sharp organisational acumen.

Key Responsibilities

  • Welcome and manage all visitors professionally
  • Operate multi-line telephone and switchboard systems
  • Coordinate and manage boardroom and meeting room bookings
  • Handle incoming and outgoing correspondence and courier deliveries
  • Issue visitor badges and maintain security log compliance
  • Liaise with executive assistants and PA teams
  • Arrange hospitality, refreshments, and catering for client visits
  • Manage office supplies and facilities requests
  • Process invoices and maintain administrative databases
  • Support HR onboarding logistics for new starters

Many of the corporate receptionist jobs in London we fill also carry expanded responsibilities in EA support, concierge services, and event coordination — particularly in large financial and professional services firms where the front-of-house team underpins the entire client experience.
