For Christmas parties in Fitzrovia which call for history, storytelling and a little magic, Lore of the Land is a typical British pub with multiple private dining rooms and an interesting backstory (film director Guy Ritchie is the landlord!).
You'll find Lore of the Land on Conway Street in the heart of one of London's most central neighbourhoods. The style feels traditional and classic with rich, jewel-toned walls, original features and rustic, exposed-brick walls. Decoration nods to Ritchie's interest in folklore here and there, with storied photographs, art and objects.
Split over three floors, the pub has it all from a simple place to drink a pint, to a cocktail bar and dining room, where open-flame cooking is king and feasting-style dishes keep punters coming back for more. It's said that the Sunday roast is particularly good. And, it's no surprise that across these various spaces, there's plenty of room for your own party - whether that private dining, a proper knees up, or full venue takeover.
Walk in off the street and you'll find the ground floor pub. This sociable, flexible space is available for hire and has a capacity of 60 people standing. While there are other spaces better suited to seated dinners, this is the perfect place to bring people together over drinks.
On the first floor is the restaurant space which clients are welcome to take over. Here, you can host up to 50 people seated across a selection of tables, or 55 when standing. Next, located on the second floor is the Rhed Room, named after its warm, earthy hue. This is the ideal space for a dinner party like feel with capacity for up to 24 people sat around a large, oval-shaped table. Or, if you'd prefer a standing affair, 30 can gather for drinks and nibbles.
Finally, full venue takeover is a brilliant option for all-company parties and covers all three floors. This way, you get a bigger capacity of over 100 people and can structure the whole evening however best suits you.
