As one of London's busiest districts for office workers, if you've been landed with finding somewhere fabulous for this year's Christmas party in the City, you better be quick if you want to nab a date at The Wolseley City. No doubt you'll recognise the name, as this restaurant on King William Street is the little sister to the original in Picaddilly, and bears all the same hallmarks of distinguished style, elegant food and a historic feel.
Housed in a former bank built in the 1920s, the building is recognisable thanks to its beauitful Portland stone facade, and inside, architects have re-vamped the space with a vaulted ceiling and grand pillars, just like the flagship. With statement flooring, monochrome, patterned walls and huge Byzantine-style chandeliers, there's no way your team won't be impressed by this glamorous spot.
All events and private dining bookings are allocated a dedicated events co-ordinator who can help you decide on the right space, decorations and food options. For more intimate parties, the private dining room is perfect, with a maximum capacity of 24 people, or the option to split into smaller spaces of nine and 12 people. Both floral arrangements and personalised place settings and menus are complimentary.
If you're looking for a bigger space, The Mezzanine is ideal with a capacity of 50 people standing or 30 people seated. Positioned over the main dining room, you'll soak up the atmosphere from the other guests, while having this stylish space all to yourselves. With a mix of standing space, seating and tables, it's perfect for a Christmas party where people want to mix and socialise. The Wolseley City team have put together a selection of menus to help make planning your event easier, including canapes and starters, mains and desserts, which you can choose ahead of time.
