About this space

Located in the heart of the City of London, Merchant House provides a distinctive setting for corporate events, networking receptions, and private parties.

The main basement bar offers a dark, characterful space with a capacity of up to 110 guests, designed for relaxed but refined gatherings.

The venue is home to one of the largest spirits collections in the world, with over 1,000 bottles across four bars. The focus is on quality and depth, spanning whisky, gin, and a wide range of other fine spirits.

At ground level, a lighter café-style bar is available for daytime bookings, informal meetings, or pre-event drinks.
