30th Birthday Party · 80 guests · January 2026 · Wharfside Bar

The service from start to finish was amazing! They let me view the venue beforehand and Abbi went above and beyond answering my million and one questions leading up to the day. Everything went smoothly, and everyone said how good the night was (especially the food!)

About The Horniman at Hays

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

You will find The Horniman at Hays in London Bridge within a short stroll of HMS Belfast, Tooley Street and London Bridge Tube - however you won't find another like it.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

This area along the south bank of the Thames was historically known as the 'Larder of London'. The pub is on the site of the tea warehouse owned by Frederick Horniman, a famous tea dealer, and Hay's Wharf was the largest and oldest wharf in the Port of London. Inside our pub, attractive friezes depict Horniman's travels to Africa, India and the Americas.
