We had our wedding reception at the Sterling and it was an absolutely perfect day. Tamam and Katie went above and beyond and were incredibly assiduous in checking our preferences with us ahead of time and making sure everything was organised. The food was incredible, the staff were so lovely to us, the venue is beautiful-- we had the most perfect day. We're so grateful to everyone at the Sterling and can't recommend it highly enough as an event venue.

Your Guide to Venue Hire in City of London
As the home of the Stock Exchange and the Bank of England, it is no surprise that the City of London is the beating heart of London’s financial scene (both current and historical), one that is absolutely littered with glittering skyscrapers nestled among a wide variety of higher-end bars, restaurants and lounges. The City of London also boasts a good deal of cultural landmarks such as St. Paul’s Cathedral (an excellent example of 17th-century architecture), the famous Museum of London and the gigantic Barbican arts centre which hosts a wide variety of events year round. A dense part of the city with excellent metro connections and a diverse array of venues for hire regardless of your needs.
If you’ve spent some time in the City of London you might be thinking to yourself there is little here beyond stiff, corporate style venues, but you couldn’t be more wrong. The City manages to pack well over a hundred venues for private hire that run the gamut from restaurants, churches, conference centres, studios, bars, lounges and even a tent! Here are a few areas to start looking:
- Bank Station – Getting off the tube at Bank Station, you’ll be faced with six roads leading away from it like spokes from a wheel. These streets are a great place to seek venues for hire, especially along Cornhill.
- Bevis Marks – For a selection of fine restaurant spaces for hire, check out the area around Bevis Marks Synagogue as you head west towards Bishopsgate and north as you go towards Coventry University.
- Mincing Lane – For club spaces and cocktails, especially those featuring older and more classic decor, search around Mincing Lane near its intersection with Fenchurch.

Verified Reviews of Event Venues in City of London
St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is just a beautiful intimate space with endless potential. I booked the venue for my wife's 30th birthday and from consultation to the event day, the staff were very pleasant to communicate with and were always happy to help. A big thank you to Nelson who was on hand for anything we needed on the day and kept checking on us through the event. Wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I would.
From start to finish the team couldn’t have been more helpful in helping to organize my 30th birthday. Stuart and Taylor were both easy to speak to and responded quickly to any questions queries. On the night, all of the staff including the security and bar staff were friendly and helpful. The venue was perfect, it has a great area for the dance floor that is separated from the bar allowing for different groups and conversations to happen easily. The venue organized my DJ and I’ve had nothing but compliments about his music choices, everybody was dancing from 8pm until midnight. They were happy for setup and signage in the venue as well as balloons etc. The toilets are gorgeous too! A huge thank you to the team for making the night so memorable. I’d highly recommend. I hired it and had around 180 guests and the space felt full and busy but it can definitely easily hold more.
This venue was an absolute pleasure to have my sister’s 30th Birthday in. Great location, stunning space and fantastic venue managers. Communication from the managers at this venue is great. We were supported by Bethany who did an amazing job at keeping us informed at all times, she is one of the most efficient people I’ve ever met. We loved everything about the venue. From the first viewing to the final minute on the night of our event, we were provided with excellent service. We would highly recommend it!!
We had our engagement party at The Loft. I thought the pricing was very reasonable. Demi and Mia were very helpful in helping us get everything sorted and on the night, Brett, Richard, Helena and Khaliya were amazing (apologies if I got any names wrong!). The venue was a good size for our 50 guests. I liked that we had our own toilets, it felt very private and away from the public. The sound system was great and the venue were very accommodating in letting us arrive early to decorate.
Great organisation from the venue's management. Perfect delivery on the day. The staff were really nice and the food was brilliant. JA's team met all our requests incl. decoration of the venue & storing and serving some of our treats. It was a really good venue to organise our staff party at. I definitely recommend this venue.
Harvey and Alena made the organisation stress free and on the night Hugh's organisation and staff ensured we had an absolutely brilliant night. The venue is less than a year old and looked great. I and many of my guests would highly recommend Smith's (Cannon Street) for the choice and quality of food and drink and the great staff.
The venue was recommended by Sarah from Tagvenue. We had a fantastic presentation, the space was just right for a corporate meeting. Highly recommended!
