The Newman Arms - Whole Venue at The Newman Arms
About this space
Looking for a one-of-a-kind venue in the heart of London? The Newman Arms offers exclusive hire of the entire pub, blending rich heritage, indulgent food, and characterful spaces across two floors.
Established in 1730, this Fitzrovia institution has lived many lives. Most notably, a Brothel, a blacksmith, a candle maker, and even the inspiration for George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Today, it’s a vibrant, atmospheric pub known for pouring perfect pints, serving legendary pies (including the iconic Fisherman’s Pie), and offering a warm, unpretentious welcome.
The ground floor buzzes with pub charm: a proper bar, wooden floors, and a selection of drinks including Murphy’s Irish Stout and our signature Black Velvet (a mix of stout and cremant, served in a tankard). Upstairs, the infamous Pie Room offers a more intimate dining or event experience, making it the ideal space for seated meals, speeches, or simply soaking in the candlelit ambience.
The venue can cater for groups from 15-150, with private areas and whole venue hire available.

About The Newman Arms
Dating back to 1730, The Newman Arms is a gem of a pub in the heart of Fitzrovia, London. It has been frequented regularly by a number of famous characters over the years, including George Orwell and Dylan Thomas. George Orwell even based the “Proles” pub in his dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four on The Newman’s and it featured again in his Keep the Aspidistra Flying. The pub also featured in a scene in Michael Powell’s film Peeping Tom.
We serve over 10 draft beers on keg and cask, including a selection of Big Penny’s core beers, alongside a curated list of guest beers from some of the best breweries in the UK and beyond. We also serve signature cocktails, wines, spirits, soft drinks and low and no alcohol options from other artisan producers.
