The 5 best engagement party venues in London

Nestled on Mayfair’s Albemarle Street is the Michelin-starred Indian restaurant. Gymkhana. Fittingly, this engagement party venue is inspired by Indian members' clubs – so it seems community (much like your pending engagement party) drives pretty much everything we do.

Enter Gymkhana’s elegant world and be greeted with the room’s rich tones, high ceilings, plush leather seats, and photographs and art hung from every wall.

Feast and celebrate – the restaurant offers up their own more than enough curries, rice dishes, tikka (both meat-based and vegetarian) and inspired drinks (Royal Bombay Yacht Club, anyone?) to keep you and your guests well-fed and in high spirits.

For a more intimate engagement party, their two private dining vaults on the lower ground floor seat up to 12 guests.

Your engagement, your rules – and what better way to celebrate than at one of the pinkest places in London?

Be welcomed by Insta-worthy neon signs, striped floors, mirrored ceilings and cushy booths for an engagement party to remember.

For those who want to keep things a little more intimate, dinner is always a good idea.
