The staff at Woody’s are all so friendly and looked after our group the entire night. Leading up to the event, their communication was great and I don’t have a bad word to say about it. The food exceeded expectations and I couldn’t have asked for more from them.

Verified Reviews of Dry Hire Venues in Central London
Absolutely brilliant - great value, lovely space - was perfect for us. Great communication from the staff and brilliant team on the day
I can definitely recommend the Drawing Room at the Marquis Cornwallis if you're having an event. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, right in the centre of London with excellent tube connections. And the value for money was really good.
Great pub and service from Martin/Marcin, who helped setup the room before the event. Perfectly-working equipment and great sound coming from the speakers first time, which is a rarity having done so many of these events around the U.K.
The Venue was great - everyone was so appreciative of the ornate decor in the grand hall. Tall ceilings, ample space and adjoining rooms provided lovely welcome & canape spaces. Nicola, our venue contact, was perfect: Efficient, friendly, enthusiastic and calm. She worked easily with our vendors.
Great team, great venue, beautiful, and really nice central location.
Location was amazing, the security were really nice as well as the bar staff and the owner. It was very conveniant. Would definently hire again for another event
The boat is beautifully decked out with every facility anyone could want. The owner is so helpful, nothing was too much bother. we loved it - and the price was right too!
