Establish a budget

First, figure out how much you're willing to spend. Prices can range from moderate to extremely expensive, depending on the venue, the view, and the number of people.

Identify your needs

This includes the number of people attending, the type of event, any specific dietary needs, audio/visual equipment requirements, etc.

Confirm availability

Once you've narrowed down your options, contact the venues directly to inquire about availability for your chosen date and time. It's advisable to have a few alternative dates in mind in case your first choice isn't available.

Visit the venue

If possible, visit the venue in person. Pictures can be deceiving and nothing beats seeing the view and the space firsthand. This is also a good opportunity to meet the staff, taste the food, and ensure that everything is to your liking.

Ask about package options

Many restaurants offer special packages for private dining, which can include things like a set menu, wine pairing, and a dedicated service team. This can often be more cost-effective than ordering à la carte.

Reserve the room

Once you've decided on a venue, reserve the room as soon as possible. The most popular restaurants often get booked up months in advance, especially for weekends and holidays.

Make a deposit

Most venues will require a deposit to secure your booking. Make sure you understand the cancellation policy in case anything unexpected happens.

Plan your menu

If the restaurant offers a set menu, choose the options that will best suit your guests' tastes and dietary needs. If you're ordering à la carte, try to pre-order to avoid any delays on the day of your event.

Finalise the details

A week or so before your event, confirm all the details with the venue. This includes the number of guests, menu choices, seating arrangements, and any special requests.

Enjoy your event

On the day of your event, arrive early to ensure everything is set up to your liking. Then, all that's left is to enjoy your event with your guests and the beautiful view of London.

Remember to book as far in advance as you can to secure the best venue and view. London is a popular destination, so these dining rooms tend to fill up quickly.
