Interpersonal skills are essential in every organisation, no matter your job title or industry. That’s why we’re giving you some great ideas (whatever the weather!) for top team building activities in London this summer.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

With MI6 and MI5 sitting across the Thames, this is a great London-centric activity that will keep everyone on their toes..
