Beautiful rooms, including a great kitchen and living room, which was great for our brand shoot. In a great location in Islington on a quiet street.
Tom was immediately helpful and accommodating - outstanding communication throughout. The Exmouth Arms is a fantastic venue. Exactly as shown online - and even better in real life. I look forward to working with Tom again on bigger projects - at this and some of his other venues.
Brilliant space - visually impressive, good facilities and very helpful staff. Also the best value we could find in london. Such a hidden gem.
Place was really nice and helpful they let us pay our own music. Got back to our requests quickly and easily and were super accommodating!
Wonderful venue - used it for a 50th birthday dinner and loved it. Highly recommended.
