Bringing a baby into the world is a truly special moment. From first scans, to the first time you notice a bump, to the first time you feel the baby move, right up until the moment you give birth; for most, pregnancy is a beautiful journey of milestones, excitement and magic that is more than worthy of a celebration.
Baby showers are the perfect way to help expectant mothers prepare for the arrival of the new baby, by showering them in gifts, love and good wishes. Usually planned by a close friend or family member of the mum-to-be, there can be a lot of pressure on making the baby shower a memorable event. There's lots of planning involved: you need a day that isn’t too close to the due date when life gets more hectic, but also one that is far enough through the pregnancy for the mum-to-be to get the most out of the shower and enjoy some much-needed fun and comfort. Choosing a theme is also difficult - do you go for a colour scheme related to the gender? A simple teddy bear pattern? Baby shower afternoon tea? Or something more glamorous?
Perhaps most important, though, is the location. Private dining rooms are your best bet for an intimate spot that is stress-free, elegant and easily decorated with balloons, flowers and the like. We’ve rounded up all the private dining rooms that would make the perfect spot for a baby shower in London. Whether you’re planning a meal and need suggestions for restaurants with a private room for a baby shower, or you’re thinking of spoiling the mum-to-be with a spot of afternoon tea, we reckon these chic private dining rooms will see you right.
