About The Banker

The Banker is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Banker is a multi-level pub set beneath railway arches, characterised by high vaulted ceilings and exposed brick that give the interior clear architectural character.

Venue highlights: The interior provides separate zones for mingling, seated dining and casual entertainment, backed by a long bar and pool tables. In-house catering runs a rotisserie-led menu that can be delivered as part of private bookings, and the bar stocks a broad selection of beers, gin and wines suitable for event packages. An outdoor riverside terrace increases usable event space in dry weather.

Best for: After-work drinks and networking receptions; private dining events centred on shared rotisserie menus; social gatherings that make use of the outdoor terrace.

Location: Cousin Lane sits beside the Thames beneath railway arches, placing the pub on the riverside walkway and within easy reach of nearby city stations for onward travel.

What guests say: The events team provides responsive, well-organised support for private bookings. The riverside terrace and the bar's broad drink selection are dependable assets for outdoor hires and drink-led events.
