Frequently asked questions

What are the room hire costs and minimum spend requirements for different event spaces?
The Yi Room (up to 12 guests) costs £1,500 room hire with £1,500 minimum F&B spend. The Ren Room costs vary by event size: £4,000 room hire with £4,000-£13,500 minimum F&B spend for smaller events, up to £10,000 room hire with £12,000 minimum F&B spend for larger receptions. All prices include VAT, with an additional 15% service charge on food and beverage.
What are the standard operating time slots and can they be extended?
Events typically operate in three slots: Day (8:00-17:00), Evening (18:30-23:30), or Full Day (8:00-23:30). Some proposals show evening events ending at 23:00 or midnight depending on the arrangement. Access times can be negotiated, with some events getting setup access from 16:00.
What are the capacity limits for different room configurations?
The Yi Room accommodates maximum 12 guests boardroom style. The Ren Room handles up to 100 guests at 10 round tables, 140 guests standing reception, or 50 guests at one oval table. The Li Room fits maximum 30 guests standing, 22 guests at one oval table, or 3 round tables of 10 guests each.
When is mandatory security required and what does it cost?
Security is mandatory for larger events at £120-£200 per security officer for up to 8 hours, with 1 officer required per 60 guests. The rate appears to vary by event type and size, with some quotes showing £120 and others £200 for the same duration.
Are there minimum bedroom booking requirements for certain events?
Some events require a minimum of 10 bedrooms to be booked, particularly for evening receptions in the Ren Room. Superior Shard rooms are available for £500 including VAT and one breakfast, with additional breakfasts at £20 per person for double occupancy.
What exclusive use options are available and how much do they cost?
You can book exclusive use of Level 34 to ensure no other events run simultaneously, which closes the Sky Lounge to the public. This prevents other groups from accessing event spaces through the Sky Lounge. Pricing for exclusive use varies and requires specific quotation based on your event requirements.
How far in advance should events be booked and what is the hold policy?
Spaces are not automatically placed on hold when proposals are sent. Many dates show as 'fully committed' well in advance, particularly popular dates in May, June, and December. The venue appears to book up quickly, so early inquiry is essential for securing preferred dates.
What are the food and beverage pricing ranges and ordering requirements?
Three-course meals start from £95 per person, canapés from £36 for 6 pieces per person, and bowl food at £12 per bowl (selection of 3 for £33 per person). Wine starts from £55 per bottle, Champagne from £110 per bottle. Dietary requirements and pre-orders are required two weeks before the event date.
What audio-visual and entertainment restrictions apply?
All entertainment, décor, and audio-visual equipment must be externally hired at additional cost. The venue does not provide in-house AV services. External suppliers and entertainment must be arranged separately and are not included in room hire or minimum spend requirements.
Can weekend events get reduced pricing compared to weekday rates?
Weekend events may qualify for reduced pricing compared to standard weekday rates. The venue indicates they 'can definitely reduce prices a bit' for weekend bookings, though specific discount amounts are not standardized and appear to be negotiated case-by-case.
