The venue itself was very spacious, had a great private downstairs bar, and good sound quality.
The drinks are reasonably priced for Central London and both food and drinks were good quality.
The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating on the night.
Would certainly book again.

Birthday Party · 60 guests
· December 2023
The venue and space reserved itself is lovely. The food was delicious and affordable, the drinks are not badly priced for London. The photo booth was lots of fun. We had a private bar, and curtains as well as a security just for us. The security was very friendly. All of my guests had a fun night.
The communication over email was slow. Upon arrival the venue was not prepared for us at all. They didn’t have the guest list they insisted I send two days early (which I did). There wasn’t enough pizza doughs for the amount I wanted (which is okay because I hadn’t preordered, but I’d expect a venue who offers £5 pizzas till 9:30 to have enough dough for more than 10 pizzas with a big party coming, even for their own sake of making money).
The lady tending the bar at first was not very friendly or helpful with any requests. I felt uncomfortable just asking for a glass because of her energy. I asked the manager to change and then it was all good.
I was told the music would be a mix of genres including commercial, but when I asked the DJ to make a request he said it was strictly a hip hop night… I wouldn’t have booked it knowing that because I’m not a fan of hip hop.
The security at our door was nice, he was very caring and diligently checked the guests in and out. However whoever was checking upstairs didn’t give half the people wristbands (again because they weren’t ready at first) so then there were various misunderstandings about who could come in and couldn’t.
The manager on shift that night was helpful but I think there was some miscommunications internally between the team as they didn’t know about the arrangements I was discussing with their colleague for weeks. I arrived later than I had planned and they still weren’t prepared.
It was a fun night for my guests overall, personally I was a bit disappointed with the circumstances as I had been planning and stressing for months and I just wanted a care free evening. Definitely recommend going to the venue first and talking to people in person, something I should’ve done.

FAQ
Yes! Here's what guests who have hosted their birthdays at this venue say:
- Daryl rated it 3.2/5 stars
'Location was great, easy for guests to find. The curtained area was perfect for our private party but could still feel the fun and vibe of the club. Music was just right. Guests enjoyed the food and was generally a fun night. They allowed us to bring a birthday cake and lit the candles for us, which made the occasion really nice for the birthday girl.' - Talia M. rated it 5/5 stars
'I'd like to start by saying a massive thank you to Aegon and all the team at the Book club. I was celebrating my 23rd birthday on Saturday and from start, to finish it was so fun and amazing. I couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate and it was all thanks to the team at the book club. I would highly recommend this venue and will definitely be coming back! ' - Matthew rated it 5/5 stars
'The Den was the perfect venue to have my 21st birthday party. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the security who wished me and said that they would take care of the party guests. The bar staff were excellent: it was easy to pre order drinks and food and organise a token system (instead of an open bar tab.) Thank you to Juliette for the event management, Malika and her team at the Book Club for an amazing, seamless evening of music and fun. '
