Prom · 150 guests · July 2025
Even with all of my disorganised traits, the team did their best to accommodate and make the evening a success. We had the best prom ever, and its all down to the staff at Lower Deck, from the organisers to the bar staff, we had the best time. The venue itself is beautiful and a hidden gem in the heart of Greenwich! Would really recommend.

30th Birthday Party · 100 guests · April 2024
Great venue, perfect for our event but the highlight was the staff. We had amazing service from Rianne before the event and during. On the night we had great communication and friendly service from Satvik, Inez, Blanca, Sam and the rest of bar and security team. Nothing was too much, incredibly helpful and definitely made the event run better with their input.
