This beautiful, historic pub near St. Pauls cathedral is in a stunning location and great venue for a party. We hired the upstairs space, with two bars and an outside area. The staff were very friendly and we had a great time.
There was confusion about the minimum spend, which shifted somewhat from the time if booking, with different managers saying different things. Also, the deposit is only redeemable as a bar tab, so not refundable. This was stated but hadn't been understood by me. And finally, near the event a discretionary tip of 10% of the night's takings was requested, preferred in cash. This was a surprise- we didn't pay it but it left us feeling a bit odd about everything. Nevertheless, it was a great evening, everyone was lovely and we have no complaints whatsoever - totally recommend this gorgeous pub.

About The Williamson's Tavern
A hidden gem of a pub with tremendous character and charm, situated within a courtyard and within walking distance of St Pauls.
We are able to host a range of events here at the Williamson’s Tavern. Our private downstairs room comes with an exclusive bar, making the space perfect for any event or meeting. With our larger upstairs area, again with a private bar, fantastic for bigger events and parties.
At weekends you can also hire the entire pub for exclusive use. Said to hold the oldest excise licence in the City, our original tavern has a distinguished history. We were originally a residence for the Lord Mayors of London, and William III and Mary dined here.
The original pub dates to the 17th Century, not long after the Great Fire of London and we were rebuilt in the 1930s our ‘new’ interior reflects the style of that period.
