Park Plaza London Riverbank

The venue offers two main pricing structures: a Day Delegate Rate (DDR) starting from £70-£81 per person plus VAT (minimum 80-95 delegates) which includes room hire, refreshments, lunch, AV equipment, and stationery, or room hire only at £4,000 plus VAT for City Suite 1. Additional breakout rooms like City Suite 2 cost £1,000 plus VAT.

City Suite 1 can accommodate up to 150 guests in cabaret style, while City Suite 2-3 combined can hold up to 96 delegates in cabaret layout. The space is described as suitable for evening events up to 260 guests when using the full City Suites area.

No, outside caterers are not allowed. All catering must be provided by the venue's in-house catering team, as explicitly stated in their policy communications.

The venue offers various options including drinks receptions with unlimited house wine, beer and soft drinks at £20-£22 per person plus VAT, canapés packages from £20-£28 per person plus VAT (5-8 items), and bowl food options at £35-£49 per person plus VAT. Three-course dinners are available as part of comprehensive packages at £108 per person plus VAT.

For the River View Lounge, there is a minimum food and beverage spend of £5,000-£6,000 to waive the exclusive room hire fee. Other spaces require minimum delegate numbers, typically 50-100 people depending on the package selected.

Basic packages include inbuilt projector and screen, flipchart, stationery, and Wi-Fi. However, if a free-standing projector and screen are required due to room layout changes or increased numbers, additional costs apply. Integrated projector and screen with HDMI connection costs £140 plus VAT per day.

The City Suites include a private outdoor terrace (perfect for smoking areas), private cloakroom, private reception area for welcome drinks, and access to a private kitchen on the same floor. The space is pillar-free and offers natural daylight with terrace access.

All events in the Executive Lounge require dedicated security presence. Up to 100 guests require 2 security officers, and 101+ guests require 3 officers. Security costs approximately £420 plus VAT for 2 officers for 6 hours (£35 plus VAT per hour per officer), though final requirements depend on guest numbers and finish time.

Music up to 80db is permitted until 23:00 hours, after which only background music can be played until midnight. This applies to events in spaces like the River View Lounge and affects planning for dinner parties with entertainment.

For short lead events, the venue typically requires confirmation within days of the proposal. Standard bookings are held as 'joint first option' with specific deadlines (often 2-3 weeks out), and the venue will release space if no decision is made by the stated deadline.
