Tanner and Co.
According to the ‘James Roche Book of Love’, flexibility is the key to any longlasting relationship. It’s fitting, then, that we feature one of our most flexible and versatile London venues in time for Valentine’s Day – the event space at Tanner and Co.
Able to cater for a variety of seating plans, this Bermondsey venue is ideally suited to any event – from conferences and corporate dinners to drink receptions and of course, romantically-themed celebrations!
So blow up the balloons, head into the huge open kitchen and grab that heart shaped cake – it’s time for a Valentine’s Day party with Tanner and Co.
Purl London
Secretive seating, curious cocktails, speakeasy styling – our next venue on the list is a real Purl-er!
Purl London is no ordinary bar. In fact, once you’re settled in, with drink in hand, you’ll feel like you and your partner are the only couple in the building.
This unique events space is full of secretive nooks and crannies, which combined with its classic layout and décor, create a wonderfully intimate and secluded atmosphere.
The ideal space for photo shoots, product launches and private parties, ‘The Purl’ is a venue that simply oozes style and sophistication. For a Valentine’s Day with a twist, check out Purl London today!
National Portrait Gallery
Valentine’s Day isn’t just a time for existing couples to celebrate their love – it is also a great opportunity for you to ask out that cute co-worker you’ve been eying or that hunky neighbour you keep bumping into at the lift. That is, of course, presuming you are actually single.
So what to do on your first date? You could check out a movie (yawn), go for a walk around the park (hay fever ain’t sexy) or you could do something really cool and book a morning, evening or whole day hire at the National Portrait Gallery.
Besides boasting some of the world’s best art galleries, this one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Venue features a brilliant restaurant and dining room. Still got your heart set on that movie? Fear not - this place has its own theatre!
Well, our work here is just about done. For more information on these or any of our other spaces, check out our website today. Oh, and have a great Valentine's Day!
