Venue Info
Tucked away in the heart of Southwark, just a short walk from London Bridge, Menier Venues offers a wonderful collection of distinctive event spaces within a beautifully restored former chocolate factory. Dating back to the nineteenth century, this Grade II listed building was once home to the French Menier Chocolate Company and today combines its fascinating industrial heritage with stylish, contemporary interiors.
Original exposed brickwork, cast-iron columns, wooden floors and generous natural light give the building plenty of character, creating a refreshing alternative to more conventional corporate event venues.
The Menier Lounge is one of the highlights, offering a relaxed, loft-style setting with comfortable furnishings and an adjoining walled garden. It’s an inviting space for networking receptions, private celebrations, creative workshops and informal corporate gatherings, particularly during the warmer months when guests can make use of the outdoor area.
Across the venue’s other spaces, the combination of historic architecture and flexible layouts provides opportunities for meetings, presentations, product launches, private dining and larger celebrations. The industrial features create an interesting backdrop without overwhelming the occasion, allowing organisers to introduce their own styling and branding.
The location is another advantage. Situated close to Borough Market and within easy reach of London Bridge station, Menier Venues is conveniently placed for guests travelling from across London and further afield.
What makes Menier Venues particularly appealing is its atmosphere. Rather than feeling like a traditional conference or function venue, it has the character of a creative London hideaway, with the building’s history very much part of the experience.
Address: 38 Southwark Street, London SE1 1UN
