Baby Shower · 14 guests · December 2025 · Ledger Room
We recently held our baby shower at The Counting House and had a really lovely experience overall. The team were friendly, attentive, and made everything feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish. The food and drinks were excellent and came out in good time, and the service throughout was warm and professional. The venue itself is also great—well kept, welcoming, and a nice atmosphere for a celebration. The only thing worth noting is that it can feel a bit cramped for around 20 people, so if you’re planning a group that size it’s something to keep in mind. Aside from that, we couldn’t fault it and would happily recommend The Counting House for an event.

40th Birthday Party · 16 guests · February 2022 · Ledger Room
(We had the PARTNERS room): Everyone had a great time, lovely food (good selection for vegans and vegetarians), a good selection of drinks. We were able to play our music quite loud & enjoy the little dance floor we’ve created. Pub is beautiful as well. Thank you so so much. (Great communication too).

About The Counting House

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

The Counting House is a pub housed in a former bank, retaining grand period features such as a glass‑domed ceiling and a sweeping staircase that define its refined, architectural character.

Venue highlights: The Counting House offers multiple private hire areas set within the former banking hall, so events take place against original period architecture. The venue provides in-house catering and an extensive gluten‑free menu, supported by a dedicated events team that handles planning and booking changes. On-site accommodation and facilities for promoted or ticketed events allow hosts to combine private functions with overnight stays or ticketed programming.

Best for: Company staff socials, after‑work networking receptions and private group dinners.

Location: Cornhill in the City of London lies in the historic banking quarter and is surrounded by offices, restaurants and bars that make it convenient for after‑work gatherings and evening plans.

What guests say: The events team provides clear, prompt communication and flexible support during booking and on-the-day changes. The venue delivers attentive, accommodating front-of-house service during private events, and the Ledger Room provides a stylish, clean private room that works well for group bookings.
