Sweeping views of St Paul’s and the City of London
Swan’s light and airy Balcony Room is an exclusive venue hire in London with remarkable views of the iconic riverside. Floor to ceiling French windows open onto the private balcony with its backdrop of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Thames, and the Globe theatre.
This unique space has lift access, its own private bar and cloakroom and can accommodate up to 70 people for a sit down affair, or up to 120 standing guests.


Ideal for private or corporate events, and for summer and Christmas parties
The stylish Balcony Room, with its elegant, panelled green walls, statement chandelier and abundant natural light, can be hired for private event celebrations, corporate meetings, and dinners.
The long wooden table – handmade from an oak tree that fell in the Great Storm of 1987 – is just the thing for board meetings and convivial private lunches or dinners. On the walls are twenty prints of Henri Matisse’s ‘Jazz’. These brightly coloured pictures were originally intended as covers for french art magazine ‘Verve’ and were inspired by the circus and the theatre.
Impossibly romantic – and with our Shakespearean links, how could it not be? – the space is also licensed for weddings.
Simple, flavoursome food and rare wines
Our restaurant standard food is created from top quality ingredients, sourced with integrity from England’s best producers. Dishes highlighting impeccable, seasonal flavours are crafted with skill by our experienced team.
Swan’s wine list features small vineyards as well as better known producers. We seek out lesser known but highly rated wines so that we can offer you something out of the ordinary at excellent prices.


In-house florists and expert event professionals
Wild, our production partner, can create fabulous floral displays to suit your event. Whether you are looking for decadent glamour, restrained elegance or full-on drama, Wild will interpret your brief with panache.
Swan’s knowledgeable in-house event team will be with you every step of the way, making your experience seamless from start to finish.
