Private dining at Number 90 is wonderfully unconventional. Set beside the River Lea in Hackney Wick, this waterside venue combines industrial warehouse character with an unusually flexible collection of event spaces, making it a memorable choice for everything from intimate dinners to a proper, large-scale knees up.
What sets Number 90 apart is its versatility. The venue's industrial architecture - think soaring warehouse proportions, exposed surfaces and adaptable open-plan spaces - acts as a blank canvas that can be tailored to suit almost any occasion. Whether you're planning a private dinner, wedding reception, company celebration or milestone birthday, the setting feels creative, relaxed and distinctly East London.
For smaller dining events, the best option is undoubtedly the venue's 30ft canal boat. Moored alongside the water, it offers one of the capital's more unusual private dining experiences. Complete with its own private bar, sound system and DJ equipment, the boat can seat up to 20 guests for dinner, creating an intimate setting that feels worlds away from a traditional restaurant private room. For drinks receptions and parties, capacity increases to 80 standing, while summer events can even spill onto the roof deck.
Larger celebrations can take advantage of Studio 9294, a pair of adjoining warehouse spaces offering over 6,000 square feet of event space. While the venue is capable of hosting events on a much larger scale, it also works brilliantly for dining-led occasions. Studio 92 can accommodate up to 150 guests for a seated dinner, making it well suited to wedding breakfasts, corporate dining events or large private celebrations.
As for food and drinks, the team offer in-house catering and work closely with organisers to create menus that suit the occasion, whether that's a formal seated dinner, relaxed sharing-style feast or street-food-inspired reception. The venue's large courtyard also opens up possibilities for food trucks and outdoor barbecues, while the canal-side terrace provides a scenic backdrop for drinks and dining during warmer months.
