Cinnamon Club

The stately backdrop of the Grade II-listed Old Westminster Library – now decorated in warm, spice-inspired tones – gives this upmarket Indian a sophisticated private club feel. It's a feeling you get the moment you arrive in the elegant and spacious reception hallway, just off Great Smith Street. But its magnificent interior is not the only draw. Food can be served on the elegant 32-seat Gallery overlooking the main dining room, which offers privacy but still benefits from the buzz of the always-busy restaurant. This space also works well for receptions for up to 50, while a private dining room can seat 60. The downstairs bar takes 80 standing guests for Christmas receptions (and great canapés), while the Library Bar for seated Christmas parties for up to 24.
