Had my 50th birthday, 70 guests.. The evrnt ran like clockwork thanks to the planning and attention to detail by the event team at the venue. Service was excellent and value for money in the round was good given premium location of the venue.

I thought the food tasting wasn't to size in some cases so I underestimated the quantities to order.

Everything.
The location is amazing, excellent views of St Paul's and The City.
Staff on the night were excellent, they could not have done more for us. Everyone from events to serving staff, this was also equally as excellent during the tasting menu phase prior to the event that was held in the restaurant.
I could not recommend this venue more for an event with a meal or standing only event.

About Swan, Shakespeare's Globe
Swan’s light and airy Balcony Room is an exclusive venue hire in London with remarkable views of the iconic riverside. Floor to ceiling French windows open onto the private balcony with its backdrop of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Thames, and the Globe theatre.
Ideal for private or corporate events, and for summer and Christmas parties.
The stylish Balcony Room, with its elegant, panelled green walls, statement chandelier and abundant natural light, can be hired for private event celebrations, corporate meetings, and dinners.
The long wooden table – handmade from an oak tree that fell in the Great Storm of 1987 – is just the thing for board meetings and convivial private lunches or dinners. On the walls are twenty prints of Henri Matisse’s ‘Jazz’. These brightly coloured pictures were originally intended as covers for French art magazine ‘Verve’ and were inspired by the circus and the theatre.
Impossibly romantic – and with our Shakespearean links, how could it not be? – the space is also licensed for weddings.
Our restaurant standard food is created from top quality ingredients, sourced with integrity from England’s best producers. Dishes highlighting impeccable, seasonal flavours are crafted with skill by our experienced team.
Swan’s wine list features small vineyards as well as better known producers. We seek out lesser known but highly rated wines so that we can offer you something out of the ordinary at excellent prices.
Abundant natural light, French windows open onto the private balcony with views over London’s skyline, private bar, air conditioning, lift access, licensed until 1am with extension available, licensed for weddings, private manned cloakroom, private unisex bathroom, separate registration area, in-house production, wi-fi, sound system, impressive Tom Kirk linear chandelier crafted from 1,200 glass cylinders.
