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.
Popular venues on Tagvenue include Lucy Wong in Fitzrovia, known for its elegant Asian-inspired décor and flexible room sizes, and Dirty Martini Monument, ideal for larger groups and office parties. Callooh Callay Shoreditch is a favourite for quirky vibes and excellent drinks, while LOCKES Bar Covent Garden provides an intimate setting for smaller gatherings. Each of these venues offers customisable menus and private space hire with reasonable minimum spends.

Booked Blackout & Lighting Included at Arch Photo Studio
The studio space is amazing! It offers a lot of high quality equipment (lights, props etc.) and has a very great layout with a small styling & Makeup/hair area as well. Robbie is also extremely lovely and was happy to help throughout the shoot, wherever we had a request - Robbie was there. Extremely attentive and the space itself is a great value for money. Will definitely book again & would highly recommend!!
