On the hunt for a central venue in London? Swan London sits against the banks of the Thames, in the heart of Bankside, boasting a historic location at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Whether you’re planning an elegant cocktail reception, lavish dinner or a glittering award ceremony, Swan London’s flexible event spaces offer 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. More than that, the space now offers a 270-degree projection wall, offering a permanent visual installation that creates a vibrant backdrop for any event. Private tours of the iconic Globe can also be added into your package, with a company of actors who can help to make your upcoming celebration immersive.
When it comes to catering, 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. But if you’re looking for something more bespoke, then be sure to speak to the team, who can organise everything from a whimsical Midsummer Night’s Dream feast, to a signature sushi bar. Be sure to work alongside the dedicated events team with in-house planners who will help you to bring your vision to life.
Looking for a space for a smaller guestlist? The Swan London also offers the Balcony Room, River Room, and the Bull Room, which can accommodate from 16 to 120 guests, each boasting sprawling views of the River Thames.
