About this space

Versatile, stylish and contemporary. The Upper River Room is ideal for both corporate and social events, including conferences, evening receptions, weddings, gala dinners and award ceremonies to name a few.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer delegates unbeatable views over the River Thames and some of London’s most iconic landmarks such as the Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and The Shard.

The room benefits from built-in lighting as well as an abundance of natural daylight, branding opportunities, and the adjacent Queenhithe for additional event space which can be accessed by a moveable wall.

The room also features a separate entrance - ideal for exclusive events in London – and also holds a late license for celebrations, receptions and dinners set to last all evening.

support for people who are homeless in London. We’d love you to join us and make a real difference which really matters.
With the Thames and iconic London landmarks as your backdrop, you can expect great food, drinks and service to enjoy and socialise with your colleagues and friends. Please

Situated by Blackfriars bridge, The Mermaid London has a rich cultural heritage from its time as a fully operating theatre which staged many successful productions from the 1950’s. Now as a vibrant conference and events centre in the heart of the City of London, the venue has the versatility and facilities to cater to a wide-range of events including conferences, product launches, live-productions, seated dinners, private parties and weddings.

The venue offers nine flexible and dynamic spaces. At the heart of the venue is the Auditorium, boasting tiered seating for 600 people with excellent sight lines to the stage and unrivalled acoustics. This amazing space is perfectly suited to cater to conferences, product-launches and events for up to 600 people. The staged area can also be used for post-event drinks receptions or gala dinner for up to 400 delegates.

If you're looking for a blank-canvas space with branding potential, the River Rooms have a modern and contemporary feel. Panoramic windows span the length of both rooms, framing views of the River Thames, The Shard, Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe, creating a spectacular backdrop to any event.

Located on the first floor of The Mermaid London, this event space can seat up to 330 delegates in a theatre style. This space is incredibly well equipped and designed to meet the needs of exhibitors and larger conferences. It’s also extremely flexible with interconnecting walls that can be divided into four smaller spaces; Aldgate, Bishopsgate, Cripplegate and Dowgate, or when using Bishopsgate, Cripplegate and Dowgate this makes the Newgate event space. The walls can also be used as whiteboards, so your meeting can get creative!

The Mermaid London recently won the ‘Most Versatile London Venue – Under 1,000 Attendees’ award at the 2018 London Venue Awards.
