Start with the gathering.
A large table and a private room solve different problems. Decide whether the group needs one conversation, a celebration, a presentation, or simply a good dinner together. Then ask about the actual setup, rather than booking from a capacity number.
Places from the earlier guide.
These are starting points from the published London guide. The right choice still depends on the group and the date.
The Stafford Wine Cellars
A cellar setting for a gathering where the room is part of the occasion.
For your brief: Confirm seated layout, access, ventilation, minimum spend and current group terms.
Scott’s
A Mayfair direction for a hosted client dinner.
For your brief: Confirm which private room is available and whether its layout works for your group.
St. John
British cooking for a group interested in the menu as much as the address.
For your brief: Check the menu against dietary needs and how adventurous the whole table wants to be.
When London is full.
A list cannot tell you what is available on your Tuesday. A different neighborhood, a different seating, or a restaurant outside the first round of obvious choices may widen the search. ASK LBB handles that work against an agreed brief.
ABOUT THIS EDITION
Adapted from the published January 2026 guide. This is an editorial starting point, not a confirmed reservation or a new Seal endorsement. Current opening, room setup, minimums and availability need checking for your brief.
