Lauren and her team were fantastic! We hired out the whole of Enid St for our party and we had an amazing night. The venue was perfect and Lauren made sure we had all the drinks we wanted. Would highly recommend it as a place to hire out for a party - no stress, super friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely place to host a party right in central London, for a very reasonable minimum bar spend. Thank you so much to all of the Enid Street team!
Everything was clean and modern. The staff were approachable, they provided us with everything we needed and were around in case we needed anything. Would definitely return for another photoshoot.
