Find the perfect venue in Embankment

For a heady mix of views and history, you can’t do much better than London’s Embankment. This Thameside thoroughfare runs a spectacular course through the capital’s greatest hits of must-see sights. From the grandiose towers of Westminster to the gleaming City of London, Embankment is a staple of London’s grandeur.

With this context in mind, you might assume it to be difficult in booking your own embankment venue. You would be categorically wrong. The embankment is packed with amazing spaces that would love to host your event. Whether it’s a corporate lunch or a birthday blowout, let this guide to booking the best walk you hand in hand through the planning process.

Event, meet your venue

When it comes to choosing the right venue for the right event, it’s important to let your preferences control the decision-making process. Meetings rooms and boardrooms are traditionally associated with corporate meetings, bars and pubs tend to cater to parties and birthdays. This does not mean that you have to stay with the traditional. Many of Embankment’s best venues will accommodate a wide variety of events – and if they don’t there’s no harm in asking.

Vibe check

A really great event reflects the character of the person planning it. Put your personality and interests into your event brief. Customisation is always an option with the best event venues, and they’ll often be happy to accommodate the unique Embankment experience that you’re after. Hawaiian party at Christmas? All you can eat doughnut station? A banquet in one of Embankment’s grand museums? Nothing is out of bounds.

Budgeting

A great piece of event planning advice is to set your ideal budget before you approach the venues. Having a pre-arranged budget will reduce the costs of running away from you, and will allow you to filter out the Embankment venues that fall out of reach of whatever you are prepared to spend. On top of this, we advise allocating a budget per guest – this way you'll be able to have sight of the costs from a micro and macro vantage point, and can adjust fittingly.

How to book

It may seem obvious, but the act of physically booking an Embankment venue can depend on your preference. You can, of course, approach an Embankment venue directly with your enquiry – for this, all you'll need is a telephone number or email address. This does, however, limit you when it comes to getting a wide selection of quotes from Embankment spaces. An easy path around this issue is to simply provide us with your enquiry – we will then circulate this amongst the very best venues Embankment has to offer, and you can get a whole host of responses to choose from.
