Birthday Party · 50 guests · June 2026
We had the most incredible night at the Oxford Market! Each one of my guests has commented on how brilliant the space was, how lovely and fun the staff were, and the entire vibe they brought to my night. Thea is incredible with communication, every question I had was answered so quickly and she worked with me to make it a perfect event. Leo the manager on duty kept everything flowing perfectly and the bar staff (notably Charlie) kept everyone entertained and partying through the night. From security, to back end, everyone was extremely professional and kind, we would come back in a heart beat! I cannot thank you all enough!
We didn't find anything to our dislike, it was pretty much perfect.

30th Birthday Party · 75 guests · November 2025
I had the most amazing evening with The Oxford Market (Ground Floor Bar) to celebrate my 30th Birthday. Sergio was a fantastic host and the bar staff and bouncers were all very good as well. Thea was a great rep and was very helpful with the booking process as well as responsive to all the questions I had ahead of the evening. The venue is very nice room with cool quirky decorations and they also let you use the beer garden area (which is shared with other people). The food portion sizes were a lot bigger than you'd think if you are considering catering. Music is flexible, we opted to play our own music but DJ hire was also allowed.
It was a little on the expensive side but that is to be expected in a prime central London location.

Birthday Party · 75 guests · June 2025
Venue was perfect - canapés and personalised cocktails very well received by guests! Thea was incredibly helpful and responsive - as were all the staff on the night. Central location, great interior design. The best evening here - thank you!
The prices of the drinks generally were on the premium end - particularly with the 12.5% service charge - received a few grumbles about this on the night from guests but to be expected in that location and was at least a minimum spend than a flat hire fee.

FAQ

Yes, you are allowed to bring your own DJ; this counts as recorded music.

Yes, sound equipment is available for DJs to use. The venue can also source a DJ to play the music of your choice at an additional cost.

Yes, but live performances can only be hosted in the basement bar, not on the ground floor. The venue has next-door residential neighbours, so volumes must be carefully controlled; live music tends to travel quite differently and be much louder than recorded music.

Yes, pictures of the venue are available to view.

Yes, there are no noise restrictions on recorded music, but the volume must not be so excessive that it causes disruption to the neighbours. Management would be on hand to monitor the sound levels on the night.
