What capacity limits apply for different seating arrangements?

What are the mandatory additional charges beyond the minimum spend?
Venue hire charges range from £5,000-£6,000 + VAT and include AV technician, security, cloakroom attendant, and furniture. An AV technician for the Rose Bar costs an additional £500 + VAT. Late finishes beyond standard hours incur extra charges, with 2AM finish costing £1,500 + VAT.
Which days offer the best rates and availability?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday offer the best rates as The London Cabaret Club operates Thursday through Saturday. The venue actively promotes these weekdays for private events due to significantly lower minimum spends and greater flexibility.
What AV equipment is included and what are the technical capabilities?
The venue includes comprehensive AV equipment worth £2,500 + VAT at no additional charge: 6 projector walls, microphones, remote clicker, stage, multiple lighting settings, uplighters, and sound system. The space features state-of-the-art AV and lighting systems suitable for presentations and entertainment.

What is the booking hold policy and response timeframe?
The venue does not automatically hold spaces for enquiries. If clients don't respond within one week of an enquiry, the venue releases the space assuming the booking is no longer required. Quick decision-making is essential to secure dates.
Are there restrictions on Friday and Saturday bookings?
