Leave a reply

Are you organising a dinner in London? Is it a business dinner?! Are you going to invite partners, clients or colleagues? In any case you need to find the most appropriate location. And the first things you need to decide (before the restaurant itself) are how many people you will invite and for what time of the day.

So here you are 5 tips for your perfect business meeting:

If you want to win over a small group of people (or a beautiful woman) the best place is The Sketch. Apart from the jaguar on the wall you can’t see anything from outside… it looks like a normal tea room but if you go with it you get to the hall you’ll find yourself akin to Alice in Wonderland. Strange pictures and sculptures and it has three different areas for different occasions. The ambience is as unique as the food and drinks! But if those are not enough: take a trip to the toilet, you’ll understand when you get there…

If you’re going for a big event you should check out the Skylon Restaurant. You can’t miss it, it’s inside the Royal Festival Hall, on the second floor of the Southbank Centre and it has an unparalleled view of the riverside. Here you can have three different kinds of meetings: a quiet lunch in a good brasserie, a smart dinner in a nice restaurant or a larger event in which you and your guests are the main stars.

If you are looking for a good lunch or dinner, in which the food will speak more than words, check out The Ivy. This restaurant offers a rich menu perfect for every taste and every season: good food for good people. Now The Ivy is a member of a larger group that includes Urban Caprice, the J Sheekey, the BamBoo and Scott’s.

If you want to surprise your guests, you should try the Hakkasan, it’s a dimly lit but smart Chinese restaurant hidden away just two minutes from Tottenham Court Road. It’s one of only two Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants in London and it offers gorgeous selection of dishes and tastey wines served with charm in a low-lit atmosphere.

If you are organising a fun and busy night the right place for you is the garden of the Victoria and Albert Museum. It may be a museum but it hides a lovely garden where you can host your guests, offering a canape dinner, live music and other surprises.

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world’s oldest stock exchanges, its history started in the coffee houses of 17th century London and the first old building, the Royal Exchange, was set up in 1565 by Thomas Gresham, a rich merchant. There, for more than 200 years, stock brokers and jobbers have bought and sold shares, making the financial institution an important piece of history. In 1667, the Great Fire destroyed the building, that was rebuilt by the architect, Edward Jerman, City Surveyor, who looked after the building resembled the old as much as possible. Since 1844 a new building has been opened to host the national Stock Exchange, but the old one has kept on to be a historical monument to the financial importance of the City. In 1991, the building was refurbished a first time, then, in 2001 it was once again remodeled to become the Grand Café of now.
