Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Holborn
Excellent venue for our event, with a super helpful events team both in the run up and on the day! Thank you to the whole L’Oscar London team
Lovely central venue, the food and drink was of a high standard but the staff really made it a great event from the start. Response times when planning were brilliant and on the night we could not have asked for more helpful and thoughtful service. Thanks to Ash and the team!
This was a beautiful space for our Board Retreat. We booked the room for two full days and it was comfortable and well appointed with an outdoor deck for fresh air. Excellent space for fostering collaboration and creativity.
The staff were incredibly helpful, especially with setting up and taking down decorations. Everyone was super friendly, and it was very good value. Really appreciated everything and highly recommend!
We had the most amazing evening at Lockes for our end of contract party at Pretty Woman the Musical. Steve was so accommodating when we asked if drinks could be made for our arrival and food could be ready just after. Everything was timed perfectly and delicious too!! Throughout the evening the staff were an absolute delight and made us feel very welcome. We had the most wonderful time and without a doubt will be booking our next event there too!!
Very helpful staff- Oscar Spacious and airy room Comfortable chairs Great value Very convenient location
Very helpful staff, lovely elegant room.
