Best Office Phone Booths in 2026: UK Buyer’s Guide

An office phone booth is a freestanding, acoustically insulated pod built for private calls, video meetings and focused work inside an open-plan office. Best overall office phone booth for 2026: MEAVO Soho. Best for long focus sessions: Workstation. Best for one-to-ones and interviews: Camden Two. Best for small team meetings: Camden Four.

Why this matters in 2026

Most UK offices have settled into a hybrid rhythm, and the days people do come in are heavier on calls than ever. A video call taken at a desk disturbs everyone within earshot and gives the person on the call no privacy. Booking a meeting room for a 15-minute call is wasteful, and in many offices there simply isn’t one free.

A phone booth solves this without a fit-out. It arrives flat-packed, assembles in under an hour, plugs into a standard socket and can be moved when the floor plan changes. The challenge is that the category has grown fast: there are now dozens of booths and pods on the UK market, ranging from under £3,500 to well over £9,000, and the differences aren’t always obvious from a product photo.

This guide ranks the best options by the job you actually need done, then explains what to check before you order.

What makes a good office phone booth

• Independent acoustic rating. Look for a class under ISO 23351-1, the international standard for speech level reduction. A manufacturer quoting a dB figure without naming the standard is quoting its own test.
• Ventilation. A sealed box with one person inside warms up quickly. Active fans with motion sensors keep the air fresh and switch off when the booth is empty.
• Power and connectivity. A mains socket, USB-A and USB-C are the minimum. Wireless charging, Ethernet and HDMI are worth having if people will work in the booth rather than just take calls.
• Safety certification. TÜV-SÜD or equivalent certification covers structural safety, electrics and fire behaviour. It matters for your insurer and your facilities team as much as for the people using the booth.
• Footprint and door swing. Check the external dimensions with the door open, not just closed, and the height against your ceiling and any sprinkler clearance.
• Sustainability credentials. Recycled-content acoustic felt, FSC-certified timber and an EcoVadis rating are the signals to look for if your procurement policy asks for them.

1. MEAVO Soho: best office phone booth overall

The Soho Phone Booth is the booth most UK offices should start with. It’s a single-person pod with an oak-grain desk, a triplex acoustic glass door, motion-sensor LED lighting and twin ventilation fans, and it comes with everything built in rather than sold as an upgrade: mains socket, USB-A and USB-C, wireless phone charging and HDMI.

It’s certified by TÜV-SÜD for safety and fire behaviour, tested to ISO 23351-1 and made in Europe. At £3,399 excluding VAT it is also the lowest-priced independently certified booth on the UK market by a comfortable margin.

Pros

• Every feature included as standard, including wireless charging and HDMI
• Independently certified acoustics, safety and fire behaviour
• Over 1,000 exterior colours, so it can match or contrast with any interior
• Acoustic felt made from 800+ recycled plastic bottles; 15 trees planted per booth

Best for: any office that needs reliable call privacy without over-specifying. Verdict: Buy.

2. MEAVO Workstation: best for long focus sessions

The Workstation takes the Soho’s acoustic shell and reworks the interior for people who will spend hours inside. The desk is deeper, there’s a monitor bracket and HDMI connection for a second screen, and the layout suits a proper working posture rather than a quick call.

Same certification and the same 1,000+ exterior colours as the Soho, so a Workstation can sit next to a Soho in a matching or contrasting shade. At £3,999 excluding VAT it still sits below most competitors’ entry-level booths.

Pros

• Monitor bracket and HDMI included, not optional
• Comfortable for deep work sessions and long conference calls
• Same certified acoustics and build as the Soho
• Over 1,000 exterior colours to match your interior

Best for: hybrid workers who use the booth as a private office on office days.

 

3. MEAVO Camden Two: best for one-to-ones and interviews

Many buyers start by shopping for a phone booth and end up needing somewhere for one-to-ones, interviews and HR conversations. The Camden Two is built for exactly that: two Camira-upholstered benches with backrests, a table between them, six ventilation fans and the same certified acoustic construction as the single-person booths. Power, USB-A and USB-C, wireless charging and HDMI are built in.

Pros

• Covers private calls and two-person meetings in one footprint
• Six fans keep it comfortable for longer sessions
• Over 1,000 exterior colours, with bench fabric by Camira to match

Best for: offices with no spare meeting rooms.

 

4. MEAVO Camden Four: best for small team meetings

The Camden Four is the Camden Two extended to seat four. It gives a team a bookable, acoustically isolated meeting space in the middle of the floor without the cost, time and planning of building a meeting room. Same benches, same six-fan ventilation, same connectivity and the same 1,000+ colour options, and it can be moved when the office layout changes.

Pros

• A four-person meeting room from £7,999, installed in a day
• Relocatable, unlike a built room
• Same certified build, 1,000+ exterior colours and 2-year standard warranty as the rest of the range

Best for: growing teams that have outgrown their meeting rooms.

 

5. MEAVO Haven One: best premium phone booth

The Haven One is a single-person phone booth from MEAVO’s premium Haven Line, made for offices where the booth is part of the interior design. Glass on both sides keeps it light and open, a natural oak shelf with an integrated power outlet sits at an elevated height for standing or perching on a stool, and an energy-efficient 4000K LED system and near-silent automated fans keep it comfortable through longer calls.

It’s tested to ISO 23351-1, TÜV-SÜD certified and made in Europe from FSC-certified wood. Integrated wheels and levelling feet come as standard, so it can be rolled to a new position without disassembly.

Pros

• Natural oak detailing and glazed sides suit receptions, client areas and executive floors
• Seven exterior finishes (White, Black, Antique Rose, Sand Yellow, Stone Green, Indigo Blue and Natural Oak) and seven interior felt colours
• Integrated wheels: relocate it without reinstallation costs
• 5-year warranty as standard

Best for: client-facing spaces and design-led offices.

6. MEAVO Haven Focus: best premium focus pod

The Haven Focus is the Haven Line’s pod for long working sessions. It’s wider than the Haven One and built around a deep integrated table with space for a laptop, notes and devices. A dual LED system delivers up to 500 lux on the tabletop at 4000K, and a high-sensitivity PIR sensor switches the lighting and ventilation on and off automatically.

Pros

• Deep table and task-level lighting for hours of screen work
• Sensor-controlled lighting and ventilation save energy when the pod is empty
• Natural oak detailing, triplex acoustic glass and seven exterior finishes
• ISO 23351-1 Class B, TÜV-SÜD certified and 5-year warranty as standard

Best for: video-heavy roles in premium workspaces.

7. MEAVO Haven Two: best premium pod for one-to-ones

The Haven Two is a two-person meeting pod for private one-to-ones and shared video calls. Built-in benches are upholstered in Camira fabric, triplex glass panels block outside noise while keeping the space bright, and the ventilation system refreshes the air inside every 60 seconds. A bespoke quad-unit LED system delivers 550 lux at 4000K for both screen work and face-to-face conversation.

 

8. MEAVO Haven Four: best premium meeting pod for small teams

The Haven Four gives a team of four a meeting space that feels like part of a high-end interior rather than an add-on. Glass on both sides fills the pod with natural light, so it stays bright and open even with the door closed, while natural oak detailing and Camira-upholstered benches bring warmth to the interior.

The exterior comes in seven premium finishes, from Natural Oak and Indigo Blue to Antique Rose and Stone Green, and the interior felt can be chosen from seven colours to match or contrast with your office. Built-in wheels and levelling feet mean the pod can be rolled to a new spot when the floor plan changes, with no disassembly or reinstallation costs.

Pros

• Seven exterior finishes and seven interior felt colours
• Double-sided glass for natural light throughout the pod
• Built-in wheels make it easy to move when the layout changes
• Extended 5-year warranty as standard

Best for: teams that want a meeting space to match a premium interior.

What to check before you order

• Total delivered cost. Ask for the price including delivery and assembly. MEAVO charges £299 for each on single-person booths and £499 for each on Camden pods; several competitors quote “on request”, which usually means several hundred pounds more.
• Lead time. In-stock MEAVO booths ship in as little as a week. Made-to-order booths from other brands typically take four to eight weeks.
• Access route. Booths arrive flat-packed, but the glass door panel is a single piece. Measure lifts, stairwells and doorways.
• Power. One standard 13A socket within 2 metres of the booth position is all that’s needed. No electrician required.
• Floor loading and sprinklers. Most office floors are fine, but check with your facilities team if you’re on a mezzanine, and allow clearance above the booth for sprinkler heads.
• Try before you buy. MEAVO has showrooms in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool. 

Which office phone booth should you choose?

For most UK offices the Soho is the right default: certified, fully equipped and the lowest-priced booth of its class. If people will work inside it for hours, step up to the Workstation. If your real problem is a shortage of small meeting spaces, start with the Camden Two for one-to-ones or the Camden Four for team meetings rather than buying several phone booths.

 

One last thing

The spec most buyers overlook is the one that decides whether a booth gets used: comfort for the length of call your team actually makes. A booth that’s perfect for five-minute calls will sit empty if everyone’s calls run to forty. Decide that first, then pick the booth.
