About this space

The Zetter Townhouse, Clerkenwell is located on the picturesque St John’s Square and a unique property in the heart of London, equally well positioned for the City, the West End and the Eurostar. With sumptuous interiors by Russell Sage, a tailor-made feast created by The Zetter Group Chef and accompanied by delicious cocktails make for a winning combination.

The townhouse Clerkenwell also has 13 individually designed bedrooms offering your guests an experience to remember!

We do offer the option of exclusive use. I hope you will agree on what a unique opportunity it is to hold the keys to Townhouse and all its contents, with sumptuous interiors by Russell Sage, a tailor-made feast created by The Zetter Group Chef and delicious cocktails. This all makes for a winning combination and perfect setting for your event. The property is yours from 3pm on your arrival day until departure the following day at 11am, everyone is welcome to enjoy food and drinks on arrival and up until 1am. The more detailed planning will follow this initial proposal and as a guide, we typically find when the whole house is hired, those staying overnight usually check in and enjoy some food and drink at their leisure, then the party usually starts around 7pm with any other guests arriving from this time.

Exclusive hire pricing of course depends on availability and demand, however, to give you a rough idea Clerkenwell starts from £18,000.00 per night including all the 13 bedrooms. If this rough cost could work within your budget do let me know and I will liaise with our reservation team to send over a proposal to you.

The venue was incredible, from the decor to the staff and the food. We had our wedding reception there on New Year’s Eve, taking over all the bedrooms, as well as the wedding breakfast which was flawless. Jaideen was brilliant at helping us throughout as our events organiser. The hotel rooms are incredible and clean with lots of space.

There could have been a slightly better wine selection and would be nice to have beer on draft but these are small points.

Excellent decor and style. Rooms were fantastic. Bar staff very friendly and knowledgable.

Some small mistakes on food orders and quality could be improved.
