The space looks great. It has lots of interesting features but is versatile enough to do lots with (I put on an exhibition here to propose). Simon and the team at Cobalance were lovely. Really helpful and friendly :)

Brilliant venue right in the heart of Old St!. Large room, nice snug and private bar. Our barman was amazing too. Highly recommend this place. We had 40 people and there was enough tables and chairs for all and standing room too. Will use again.

Absolutely loved my 49 3/4 unbirthday at looking glass! Loved my specially named cocktails, the food was fabulous and staff were wonderful! Booking from Hong king I had no idea about what the venue looked like - so was entranced by the actual giant looking glass to enter the venue! The recommendation for the Dj was fantastic! Thanks to the whole team!!
