Booked The Windsor Suite at The Milestone Hotel and Residences

4.6

The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, very considerate. The room itself was perfect! They paid good attention to detail and made our day as special as it could have been. We had great communication, from day one with Emma to the people who helped us on the day, including Leo. They catered to our specific needs and nothing was too much for them.

Booked Main Room at Great Guns Social

5.0

I had an outstanding experience at Great Guns Social. The staff, particularly Pepa, demonstrated excellent communication leading up to the event. Beni and the team ensured everything ran smoothly on the night, from well-set tables with name tags to prompt service of delicious starters and mains. The tiramisu was a delightful finale, and overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Booked Upstairs at Yorkshire Grey Holborn

4.8

For the price and the area this was a good venue and we got lots of positive feedback about the food. It is good that the space has a dedicated entrance and toilets adjacent that mostly aren't used by other customers. I was able to play my own music. Service was on the whole pretty good and we had a dedicated bar person.

Great location, super close to the tube/train and to lots of eatery places. Facilities were pretty good and although not the biggest room we were comfortable. Screen and equipment was in good working order and the air con was a blessing. Teas, coffee, juice and biscuits provided as promised. Great service overall

Booked The Lounge at Floaty McFloat Face

4.3

Such a unique and fun experience which is exactly what I was after for my 30th celebration dinner with 12 guests. Great location and easy to find in Camden. Miles allowed me to visit the boat before the event so I could plan how I wanted to decorate. We brought everything we needed including all food and drinks. We were lucky to have such a mild night in November so we had the roof off the whole night. Highly recommend if you're after something a little different.

Booked Meeting Room - Elton at 56 Greek Street, London W1

4.8

Everyone was super friendly, helpful and attentive The location was great, very central. The venue itself is aesthetically pleasing and dynamic - you can do a lot in this room. We hosted a hen party there, played games, ate a big meal and it worked - so even though it's a meeting room, it doesn't feel too corporate-y. It's warm and quirky.
