You should aim to book 4–6 weeks in advance for peak evenings (especially Thursdays and Fridays) or during the holiday season. Premium venues and centrally located bars can fill up quickly, particularly in Soho and Fitzrovia. For larger groups or exclusive hire, it's best to confirm at least 2 months ahead.
great venue, everyone loved it Harryy and all the staff were very accomodating and put a lot of effort to what we wanted they set up DJ equipment for us and even helped us set up one of our friends to love stream a set from Australia

Craig was amazing and helped us through the whole process. Very clear and straightforward to book the venue and he also offered us a viewing before we confirmed which was very helpful in us making our decision! Will definitely be booking this venue again! Drinks and food were great!
Great place. Staff are friendly, cocktails are great. Venue is the right size for a party. Love the decore too.
I booked this for my partners 30th surprise party and it was great. Steve was super helpful and answered any questions I had before the day. Staff were great on the night. Would definitely recommend!
Steve was really helpful, and the whole team were a joy to work with. The evening went swimmingly and the canapés were really enjoyed by all. I would recommend the venue for your event.
