Booked Full Hire at Crol and Co Bermondsey Spa Gardens

5.0

I had a great experience booking this venue. The whole process was really smooth, and it comfortably accommodated all 60 of us, especially with the outdoor area available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the evening, which made everything feel so relaxed. I brought my own food and set up a small buffet. We spent most of the evening outside because of the hot weather, but everyone came inside later for the cake and the end of the party, and there was plenty of room for all 60 guests. Such a lovely little venue, I’d definitely book it again!

Booked Single Meeting Room at Russell Square

5.0

The room feels spacious and beautiful, especially where there are huge windows that let the light in and you can see the greenery from outside. There’s also a beautiful garden that can be utilised although we didn’t since it was raining in the morning. I realised one of our attendees needed oat milk for her drink and we were actually able to get some from the kitchen downstairs (which the venue kindly allowed us to use if needed) so that was very appreciated. Leila was super helpful and accommodating and we had the room set up exactly how we wanted, and the day ran smoothly as and when small requests can up. All the attendees loved the space and with it being so central, ie a short walk from Holborn and Russell Square, we’ll be back again!

Booked The Games Room at Heist Bank

5.0

This venue was amazing for my partners 30th birthday party! The communication was great and the venue prompted planning really well! They have a huge range of board games as well as the old school nintendo to play on which the guests loved doing. The standing formation I picked had lots of space in the middle to mingle but still places to sit where people played the board games. The karaoke also went down well, they’ve got great quality mics! The venue let us bring our own cake and candles as well as letting us coming a little earlier to decorate the place with balloons and buntings. So helpful with setting up the karaoke on a big projector. I even connected my laptop to the screen to do a birthday quiz! They accommodated extra stuff like beer pong aswell. Compared to a lot of places I’ve seen in London, this was also very reasonably priced by letting me choose an option for just venue hire and letting guests buy their own drinks and food! Really friendly service aswell by the bar staff and events team. Close to several stations (Paddington and Edgware Road) an if people need to use the night tube, it’s about a 15/20m walk to Lancaster Gate (on central line)

Booked Private Room 6 at Radisson Blu Hotel, London Mercer Street

5.0

I loved the hospitality, the food, the attentiveness and how they make the whole process, from enquiry, booking until you are done with the event, effortless. Maria was an absolute delight to work with. The staff present at the venue Fabian and Bruno were extremely helpful, attentive and available to all our requests. Our team training day went brilliantly - our CEO was delighted, and the whole team was genuinely impressed with the space, the arrangements and especially the food, which received so many compliments! We will absolutely keep Radisson Blu Bloomsbury in mind for future events and would not hesitate to recommend you to others.

Booked Tails Studio at West End Tails

5.0

Best space I have seen for small group use in a central location. Hosts were very responsive, pleasant and welcoming. The space was kept very clean and tidy, and unlike many other spaces in central locations tending towards dated, espectially floor quality, this place was excellent and obviously well maintained. The floor was great, one of the best we've used for dance practice. Internal temperature control was good, lighting was good, WC was very clean and nice to be in. Sound system was good and easy to use. Wifi was good. Location is excellent. The hosts / owners obviously designed the space with their target customer's comfort and utility in mind. Overall no complaints about the space, was very happy with it.

Booked Rum Bar Full Hire at Ma Petite Jamaica Rum Bar

4.9

I recently hosted a Christening/ birthday event for my baby girl at Ma Petite Jamaica Bar, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was delicious and well-received by all our guests. While the venue could have benefited from having a few more staff members on site to assist with service, Charlie and her team truly went above and beyond. Despite being understaffed, they remained attentive, helpful, and professional throughout the event. Their dedication made a noticeable difference and helped everything run smoothly. Thank you to Charlie and the team for their hard work!

Booked The Rooftop Bar at The Broadcaster White City

4.8

I had my 21st birthday party here, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. The staff were exceptional – from the moment I booked, they were friendly, helpful, and so easy to communicate with. On the night, every single member of the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive without ever being overbearing, always checking in at just the right moments and making sure myself and my guests felt completely taken care of. It was clear they genuinely cared about making the night special. The space was perfect, the atmosphere was amazing, and I’m still getting compliments from friends about how well-organised and fun the evening was. I can’t recommend this venue or the team behind it highly enough – thank you for making my birthday one to remember!

Booked Bar at Crol and Co London Bridge

5.0

I hired Crol & Co London Bridge for my 30th birthday party, and it was the perfect venue! I had had about 35 guests and it was the perfect space, really stylish and had a great vibe. The drinks were delicious and the team was so kind and helpful throughout the evening, with everything from the sound system to the (surprise) personalised cocktail menus! Really couldn’t recommend enough for an event of this size. I have had loads of comments from guests on how great the venue was and I completely agree. Huge thanks to the team!
