Planning a special event? Be it a birthday party, corporate function or even wedding reception, we know there's plenty of options in the capital. But, do those options also have the best views of Tower Bridge, with panoramic vistas and floor-to-ceiling windows?
Snagging one of the city's most iconic spots, this is what makes Vicinity at four-star The Tower Hotel really special. And, luckily for you, the team are total experts at throwing one heck of a shindig, too. Vicinity is the hotel's in-house restaurant and flaunts not only the best views but contemporary design and a gorgeous cocktail bar. Here, you can host 120 people seated, 180 when standing or 100 when just taking over the terrace - a stunning spot for sunset.
If looking for a space that has a professional feel, let us introduce you to the 12th-floor conference level which boasts 15 meeting rooms, fast and free wi-fi, natural daylight, air conditioning, and tea and coffee making facilities, and either views of St Katherine's Docks or Tower Bridge. You could always book out a meeting room here for the day, and a more evening-appropriate space for after meeting drinks.
Finally, there's The Gallery. This space has a real function room feel and works perfectly for large groups sitting down for a three-course meal. Perhaps this could be a backdrop for a corporate awards, Christmas party or even a wedding breakfast.
As for food and drinks, all catering is provided in house and the team can share initial sample menus with you covering starter, main and dessert options. There's also drinks packages available so you can ensure your guests are greeted with a glass of sparkling, or an all-night bar package so that everyone's watered. The Tower Hotel can even put on a quintessentially English afternoon tea, which works wonderfully for day-time events.
