Fab venue and they did everything they could on a boiling hot day to keep everyone comfortable. The work done before in the build up was incredible.
Held my 50h party here and had a fantastic time. The staff were incredibly helpful and good fun on the day and everyone had a ball. Thank you so much!
Excellent service for a huge number of guests, restaurant staff kept up with serving food on time, leaving no guest hungry nor dissatisfied. Lovely venue, nice decoration
Great venue, location, really atmosphere and felt special and unique. Staff were relaxed and friendly and we all had an amazing time. Thanks!
Venue was lovely, the guests really loved it and the views. The bar staff were very accommodating and helpful.
We had a great time on the copper quay! Yan and his team were super friendly and helpful and we loved having karaoke on board!
Fantastic location. The Bridge was the perfect size for our group (25). Plenty of room to mingle with space but still felt cosy. Clean, the food was a good pub-grub buffet and there was plenty of it. Staff were all helpful and a special shout out to Lucy who made everything smooth running.
- Location was amazing (directly opposite the London eye and next to the Houses of Parliament) so pretty at night! - Food was 10/10 and there was a large quantity for not too much - Music technician was very helpful and kind
