London’s Instagram-Famous Private Dining Rooms
When you’re looking for a space to host a special occasion, be it a birthday, wedding reception, or something else, London is brimming with options. In fact, there are so many private dining rooms to choose from that the options can be somewhat overwhelming. For me, I’m on the hunt for somewhere to host a small family dinner after my wedding this year, so I’ve done the research on the chicest spots to know right now – here’s my curated edit.
The Hart
Marylebone
Number of guests: 40 seated
Located on the top floor of one of London’s hottest new pubs, The Hart (read my full review here), The Den is a cosy space oozing with character – think: hand-painted ceilings, plush furnishings, an inviting fireplace, and a cocktail bar.
Where: 56 Blandford St, London W1U 7JA

Kindred
Hammersmith
Number of guests: 42 seated
One of London’s most polished event spaces, Kindred has a handful of private spaces for hire, but it’s The Library and adjoining Salon that truly transports you. Think: high-arched windows and leather-bound books amidst welcoming design details.
