Found between St. Paul’s and the river, Blackfriars’ engagement party venues are a sight to behold. Imagine your guests sipping cocktails beside walls stacked with rum. Or picture your loved ones toasting by the river on a terrace lined with candlelit booths and heaters for year-round al fresco dining. If you want something grander, there’s a multi-room venue here with mix-and-match party zones: think velvet booths in one corner, a hidden dancefloor in the next, and a showpiece bar stocked with small-batch spirits. Even the more understated venues come with thoughtful touches—like art-lined dining rooms, mezzanine galleries for toasts, or tasting menus built just for the occasion.
