### Scott’s, Mayfair

**BEST FOR:** A classic London experience.

Scott’s private dining rooms offer the perfect setting for business lunches and special occasions. You’ll still experience the same exceptional service and fine selection of seafood Scott’s is known for – only in a more intimate setting, within one of two spaces. The Platinum Arowana Room (large enough for six-eight guests) and The Private Room (large enough for 40 seated guests) are on the ground floor of the main restaurant and the lower ground floor below the main dining room, respectively.   
  
Prices upon request; *20 Mount Street, Mayfair, W1K 2HE*  
  
Visit [Scotts-Restaurant.com](https://scotts-restaurant.com/private-dining/)

### Daphne’s, Chelsea

**BEST FOR:** Intimate parties.

The elegant Daphne’s Conservatory in Chelsea can accommodate up to 40 guests for a private birthday, anniversary lunch or dinner. If a drinks and canapés celebration is more your style, the space can hold up to 50 guests. In the summer, the bright conservatory creates an al fresco feel, while in winter, a blazing fire in the open range turns it into an intimate retreat. Head chef Michael Brown will create a seasonal menu for private events in the conservatory, highlighting the best of each season’s produce, too – plus, the room comes with candles and place cards already set up.  
  
Prices from £14pp; *112 Draycott Avenue, Chelsea, SW3 3AE*

### J Sheekey, Covent Garden

**BEST FOR:** Later in the year.

Whether it’s a celebratory dinner, business lunch, birthday party or anniversary, iconic London restaurant J Sheekey could be the perfect setting. To really blow the budget, the restaurant is also available to hire exclusively. With a horseshoe-shaped bar and tables facing an open kitchen, the space can seat up to 52 guests and is ideal for more informal occasions. The adjoining terrace, equipped with heaters and blankets, provides further seating if outdoor venues are more your thing for the time being. Just bear in mind the restaurant is currently undergoing a refurbishment, with plans to reopen later this summer.  
  
Prices upon request; *28-32 St Martin's Court, Covent Garden, WC2N 4AL*

#### Gymkhana, Mayfair

**BEST FOR:** Specific cuisine.

Indian hotspot Gymkhana’s two secluded private dining vaults are located on either side of the lower ground floor. Guests will be offered a range of set menus – but can also create their own bespoke menu and wine pairings upon request. In line with the latest government guidelines, each vault currently accommodates up to six guests, although those with larger households are encouraged to contact a member of Gymkhana’s team. The restaurant is also available to hire for wedding receptions for up to 30 guests.  
  
Prices upon request; *42 Albemarle Street, Mayfair, W1S 4JH*

### Annabel’s, Mayfair

**BEST FOR:** Ultimate privacy.

Plenty will know Annabel’s, the private members’ club in Mayfair, but did you know the club also offers private dining to take the exclusive feel up a notch? Combining exceptional food, wine and service, The Flower Room is an enchanting space in which to entertain, filled with intricate details and fairy tale colours. In contrast, The Silver Room offers a more tranquil feel, with a muted colour palette. Downstairs, the hedonistic decadence of Club 46, The Jungle Bar and The Snugs are ideal for those looking to make the ultimate statement. Available for lunch, dinner and drinks parties, each space provides discretion.  
  
Prices upon request; *46 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, W1J 5AT*

### Balthazar, Covent Garden

**BEST FOR:** A central location.

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to hold a business meeting, cocktail reception, anniversary or birthday party, wedding celebration or networking event, few places are more central than Balthazar. Experience the same service, delicious food and ambient style of the London hotspot in a more intimate setting: its two spaces – ‘Le Petit’ and ‘Le Grand’ – are on the ground floor behind the bar and on the first floor above the main dining room. Both are accessible both through the restaurant or via their own exclusive private entrances – bonus.  
  
Prices upon request; *4-6 Russell Street, Covent Garden, WC2B 5HZ*

### The Coral Room, Bloomsbury

**BEST FOR:** An indoor/outdoor vibe.

Adjacent to one of our favourite terraces in London, Dalloway Terrace, is private entertaining space The Coral Room. Intimate and sheltered, it’s the ideal space to reconnect with friends and family, clients or colleagues – plus, you can also use it as for a wedding reception for up to 15 guests or small events of up to 20 guests. Complete with a modern gazebo and heaters, it’s also equipped with a botanical canopy and cosy fireplace ready for when the evenings draw in. The events team can tailor each experience to the needs of your guests, too – from anafternoon tea to a five-course feast with cocktails and canapés.
