We booked Martha's Bar for a networking event we were hosting - it was the ideal location and size, and felt very comfortable. The staff were very helpful in helping us to get the event organised and order the correct amount of food and drink. The food was very good! Many thanks to the staff for helping to make the event a success!

Everything - the food was incredible, the day was perfect, the staff were so kind and helpful. Malin and her team made our day so special, and we've had people raving about the food and the day. We had booked the venue for our 'wedding' (we had done the legal bits elsewhere) and the price was incredibly reasonable and great value for money. Malin was so communicative (moreso than me) and was always checking in to make sure everything was going well. Thank you so much to the Williamson's Tavern and all staff that were there. We had an amazing day.

Nothing - it was perfect!

About The Williamson's Tavern

The Williamson's Tavern is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

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.

Typically for 50-110 guests and costs about £1,200.
