Two gallery-style rooms can each be used as drinks reception venues. In-house venue managers can assist with hiring your required production equipment for the best possible rates, or you are welcome to bring in your own production company to create your perfect drinks reception venue.

Coq D’Argent

The rooftop garden of Coq D’Argent offers unrivalled views for your drinks reception. Originally designed by Arabella Lennox-Boyd, the rooftop space takes its inspiration from Corbusier’s Fifth Elevation, bold and formal. The interior of the restaurant is sleek and elegant using rich walnut veneer wall panelling, Jura limestone flooring, soft leather chairs and mocha upholstered banquettes.

Building Six

Housed within the iconic O2 building, Building Six is a vast event space suitable for a huge range of different events. The outside space of Building Six is unrivalled and makes a great unusual setting for London drinks receptions.
