Very friendly and helpful staff. They were prompt, accommodating and focused on helping us to have a great event.
Didn't realise the room didn't have natural light so didn't get natural light on a rare sunny day in London.

We held our wedding reception at One Whitehall Place. Our sales representative and event coordinator were so attentive and helpful. The service was impeccable and the rooms were set up beautifully. The evening appeared seamless to us. We received many compliments from our guests on the food and service.
