Staff at the private room bar was very helpful.
1. Equipment - Mic did work in the beginning. Stopped working at the closure time. 2. When I met a staff a week before the event, I was told we can come an hour and organise seating as per our dating requirement. But on the day, a different staff at the bar did not leave us before the booking time. I wish I was informed about this in the first place. I could have asked my attendees to come bit later to allow us to organise the room.

Fantastic venue! Well organised, the barman in particular was very helpful. Delicious buffet and we were able to have a slideshow of photos and our own music, plus cake delivered.

We had a themed birthday party here, it is a good location, easy to get to, we were able to play our own music and run a film in the background. The decor is good and the staff were helpful and cheerful. I thought that for central London the minimum spend was reasonable, and there was a good range of beers on tap. I would recommend it as a private party venue.
