I had the pleasure of hosting my birthday party at Hanway and it was an absolutely amazing experience. This venue is truly a hidden gem nestled in the heart of London. The size of the basement was perfect for my guest list. It featured a small bar and a WC, which added to the convenience and the small dance floor was a highlight, providing a great area for everyone.
From the moment we arrived, Naomi stood out with her friendly and approachable demeanor. She was incredibly easy to talk to, yet maintained a highly professional manner throughout the evening. Many of my guests mentioned how welcoming and warm Naomi was, making everyone feel right at home. The bar staff were equally impressive. They were not only friendly and smiley but also contributed to the fantastic atmosphere that made my birthday party so memorable. Thank you, Naomi, and the entire Hanway team for making my birthday party unforgettable!
The venue was great - perfect for hosting a party in a private room with a private bar and very reasonable bar spend threshold too! The addition of Karaoke in the room made the night, with everyone having tonnes of fun. Special shout-out has to go to the the staff who made us feel very welcome and accommodated all our needs, especially our barman Dan who was honestly a legend! I had friends coming up to me for a few days after talking about how good he was! Overall a great 30th!
The venue and staff were absolutely amazing. Communication with Craig prior to my 30th party and then the staff on the night were just great. I really can’t fault anything. I just wish I could remember the names of the manager on the night and the bar staff because they were just the greatest humans ever (whoever was working on the 13th October… I love you guys and sorry that I’ve forgotten names). Location was perfect and night was incredible. If I could I have party every week it would be here. If you’re thinking to book… just book. Trust me!
Really appreciate the excellent communication and management by Craig. He was very accommodating with all our requests. I even came in randomly to see the venue and he was very helpful! The small details made a huge difference - like the cocktail naming, which everybody at the party loved. The venue was excellent - the size, the fact we could play our own music, the large area to dance and our own bar. Excellent location, literally just off Oxford Street. Really appreciated the help on the day with Maddie and the team. They made everything run seamlessly.
The venue and the food were excellent. I had many comments from my guests saying how good both were, and that there were actually quite surprised, given that venues in central London can be lacking in genuine atmosphere.
The staff were very helpful throughout, as well as during the build up. Whilst it seemed like a lot of money, we reached the minimum spend quite easily, given that people were enjoying themselves so much. I would very much recommend this venue both to friends and in general.
Central London location but quiet meeting rooms.
Friendly and helpful reception.
On the day of our event, a larger room was available and was therefore offered to us without any increase in cost.
Loads of eateries outside
I booked a private room for my boyfriend's 30th birthday on a Saturday night. Kerry and the rest of the staff were very accommodating and made sure we had the best time ever! They also decorated the room for us which looked great and were always on hand when we needed anything. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a good night!
Staff were friendly and very helpful- catering to all of my requests both ahead of and on the night.
The guests raved about the food, which was excellent and was consumed in a matter of minutes!
Downstairs bathroom was also very handy.
The different zones in the room allowed for breakouts - eating, dancing, sitting down. This was bey convenient.
