Discover the Best Private Dining Rooms in London for 10 – 20 Guests

Photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness

Many of the best private dining rooms in London are tailored to a party size of 10 to 20 guests. Leaving parties, team celebrations and friends’ get togethers often end up with around this number of guests. It’s a great size – small enough to still feel intimate but big enough not to have to worry about awkward silences.

Small team meetings, brainstormings, high level discussions, board dinners and power lunches are top of this category for corporate events, while private do’s are much more varied ranging from birthday parties, celebrations, high end hen and stag dinners and family lunches.

Restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs throughout London boast a huge range of private rooms that cater to this size. From City venues with amazing views of the Capital’s skyline to Michelin starred restaurants, gastro-pubs, riverside rooms and sumptuous hotels, there’s so many to choose from we recommend starting with the cuisine of choice within your chosen area and then looking at venues.

Top tip: Some restaurants will still allow this number of guests to choose from a reduced a la carte rather than a function menu, even if you’re holding the event in their private dining room. If you’d like your guests to have a choice – it’s worth checking!

In addition to the London private dining rooms below for 10 – 20 guests, you also find rooms for other private party sizes as follows:
