Finding the right private dining room for the right occasion is no easy task. Believe us, we know - we dedicate many hours of the week to finding the perfect private spaces, whether it be the best private dining rooms for baby showers, the best private dining rooms for birthdays, or good old fashioned business lunches with clients. If there’s one area that manages to do all the above to a high standard, it’s Marylebone. This central London neighbourhood is easy to get to from all over the city, and comfortably straddles fashionable and easy-going. Smart enough for the most glamorous occasions, and still home to some of the coolest restaurants in London, Marylebone is right up there with London’s top foodie neighbourhoods.

These restaurants, sitting right in the centre of town, are some of our favourite places to eat in the capital - and they just so happen to have gorgeous private dining rooms to boot.

Durrants Hotel

What: A quintessentially British hotel in the heart of Marylebone, Durrants Hotel boasts an array of private rooms to suit all occasions.

AngloThai

What: AngloThai was many years in the making, but it was worth the wait, so much so that the restaurant went straight into SquareMeal’s Top 100 London Restaurants list in its debut year. There’s nothing else in London quite like John Chantarasak’s modern Thai cooking, and where better to experience it than in the gorgeous, moody private dining room with 16 guests? Real thought has gone into the design too - the bespoke dining table was made from indigenous Chamchuri wood by Chaing Mai artisans, as was much of the artwork on the walls.
