Booked Private Lounge at Mare Street Market King's Cross

5.0

I hired the private lounge at Mare Street Market King’s Cross for my 40th birthday on a Saturday, and overall it was a fantastic choice for a relaxed but stylish celebration. The space itself is a real highlight. The lounge feels properly private, with its own bar and a mix of sofas and armchairs that make it feel more like a laid-back living room than a formal venue. It worked perfectly for a social event where people could mingle easily without being tied to a table. It comfortably handled a large group without ever feeling cramped, which was ideal. One feature that really elevated the night was the built-in screen and sound system. I was able to share my own content on the screen, which added a really personal touch, and also play my own playlist through the sound system. It gave me full control over the atmosphere and made the whole event feel much more tailored and memorable. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot Mare Street Market is known for. It feels like an “occasion” venue without being over the top, which suited the vibe I was going for. Food and drinks were great, and having a private bar in the room made a big difference in keeping things flowing smoothly throughout the evening. A special mention to Danni, Julian and Bessim, who were amazing on the night- friendly, attentive, and really helped everything run seamlessly. Their presence made a big impact on the overall experience. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat—right by King’s Cross, making it incredibly easy for guests to get to from across London and beyond. Overall: A brilliant option for a private party if you’re after a relaxed, sociable atmosphere in a great-looking space. The venue and team on the night really delivered, and I’d definitely consider it again for future events.

We had the best time ever at the Lounge in Lucy Wong. Massive thank you to all the incredible staff, in particular Kat and Grace who could not have been more helpful. They responded so quickly and patiently to all my messages and dealing with them has been a real pleasure. The Lounge was perfect to host my event, such a hidden gem, and the food and drinks were absolutely fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lucy Wong to my friends and look forward to going back!! Thank you to all at Lucy Wong!

Booked The Orchids Room & Terrace at Sticky Mango Waterloo

4.9

The communication with Stef from the venue was great every step of the way — the initial messages included very comprehensive information, and we even had a phone call to fine-tune the details. On the day of the event (Sunday), I called them as one guest cancelled last minute, and they were happy to accommodate. Kader and his team were extremely professional and friendly — they looked after us in every detail! The food was phenomenal, and even the bento boxes from the kids’ menu were delicious. They knew our guests’ names and catered wonderfully to the picky eaters. The attention to detail was outstanding. Everyone was so happy, and they truly made that important occasion feel special. If I have another event, I will most definitely think of this venue!

Booked Secret Bar at "Americana"

4.6

I thoroughly enjoyed my 40th Birthday night at Americana! It was a total pleasure working with Alessandro in making my experience incredible with the booking of the secret bar and gallery upstairs with my own private DJ playing my jams into the early hours. I have to shout out to Javon who was on hand with me and my guests all night and Davido who made the experience very smooth. I thoroughly recommend this lavish and exclusive venue.

Booked Basement at Promona Bar & Basement

5.0

The venue is in a great location, very central and easily accessible. The different areas work really well for a party so these is space for people to mingle and chat and then the dancefloor for those who really want to party. My DJs were happy with the set up. Naomi and her team were all really lovely and helpful and looked after us well. I would certainly recommend this venue to anyone looking to hold an event or party.

The venue was amazing, the communication leading up to the event was helpful and they responded really quickly. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I also thought it was great value for money, the karaoke machine was such an added bonus. The food was really delicious and came quickly when we ordered, there was no need to pre order . We would definitely use The Regent again, great pub, great service in a really beautiful part of London
