About this space

Underglobe is a Banqueting Hall in the Swan, Shakespeare's Globe and a theatre‑influenced private dining room with an adaptable floorplan that suits both seated service and reception layouts.

Design: The room presents a low‑lit, theatrical interior marked by draped textiles, coloured uplighting and a mix of round dining tables and timber chairs. The setting includes decorative planting and patterned flooring that creates distinct dining pockets within a single open space.

Features: The room includes wired Wi‑Fi and air conditioning plus a PA system and speakers. The space permits own music and external DJs and provides an open area suitable as a dancefloor. The room is wheelchair accessible and served by accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Hosts planning a polished seated dinner or a mixed seated-and-standing reception that benefits from a theatrical, performance‑capable setting.

What guests say: The space provides attentive, accommodating service and offers large windowed views that guests describe as memorable and well managed for groups.
