On the hunt for a venue in London? Swan at The Globe is a central London restaurant and bar that boasts a number of rooms, both large and small, for multiple types of events. Whether it’s an intimate gathering, elegant cocktail reception, lavish dinner or a glittering award ceremony, Swan’s flexible event spaces offers something for everyone.
Its most impressive space is Underglobe which, as the name suggests, is located underneath Shakespeare’s Globe and boasts a private riverside entrance. This spectacular room can hold up to 250 seated, or 425 standing, and has been used in the past for award ceremonies, Christmas parties and conferences. The space can also be partitioned with drapery to host smaller events. When you hire Underglobe, a dedicated events team will be on hand to help with all the finer details from personalisation and decoration, to AV equipment, entertainment options and other production considerations. While an in-house team of chefs offer stylish and sustainable menus for parties and events, with a focus on British cuisine and restaurant quality execution.
For smaller events, The Snug is a cosy private area within the bar with views of the River Thames. This space is a great option for after-work drinks and birthday parties with space for up to 30 standing guests. This informal private area is screened off by elegant glass and copper panels and is available on a minimum-spend basis.
For larger food and drinks focused events, both the Balcony Room and River Room are perfect for celebratory dinners. The former is a penthouse dining room with its own private bar that’s able to accommodate 70 seated or up to 120 standing. While the River Room is located adjacent to the main restaurant, and is a bright and airy space for sit down dinners of up to 35 guests.
