About L'oscar London

Description

It's true, London is full of beautiful restaurants with private dining options, but whether you're looking for a special place for a personal milestone, birthday party, brand event or even a wedding breakfast, there's one place that is sure to pique your interest: L'oscar. L'oscar is a boutique hotel and restaurant which can be found just moments from Holborn station and a short walk from the Covent Garden piazza, close to the West End.

Set within a Baroque-style, Grade II listed former church, it seems that nothing is too flamboyant for this venue with interiors boasting peacock-painted walls, golden-gilded panels and an illuminated onyx bar. Truly, for interior design magpies, it's like arriving at Willy Wonker's Chocolate Factory. Aside from the stunning central restaurant, you'll also find two beautiful private dining options.

Now, if a sit-down dinner is what you had in mind, we'd recommend The Committee Room which has a long, banqueting table as its centrepiece. In this space, you'll be delighted to find walls painted in peacock blue, accentuated by hand-painted illustrations of the birds themselves. A huge, authentic fireplace with 3D stone carvings is certainly a talking point, as is the rich, wooden wall panelling which dates back to the Arts and Crafts period. This room can cater for 26 people for dinner and 40 for drinks and canapes, so while it's perfect for a special supper, it will happily work for any occasion.

If you were imagining a slightly larger affair, let us introduce you to The Library. Here, you'll find the same vaulted ceilings with detailed plasterwork, richly-toned walls and peacock motifs, but in a bigger, more open space. Instead of a central table, sumptuous, velvet cocktail chairs are dotted around which seem to transport you back in time to a Parisian boudoir in the 1800s. Which makes sense, when you consider that L'oscar is inspired by Parisian glamour. Here, 80 people are invited to enjoy drinks, or 40 for a sit down meal.

New Year's Eve Gala

31 Dec 2024 until 01 Jan 2025

This New Year’s Eve, L'oscar London invites you to an unforgettable, opulent, and flamboyant celebration, featuring a spectacular cabaret show inspired by the hotel’s stunning interiors. Designed by renowned French interior designer Jacques Garcia, L'oscar London draws its unique aesthetic from a theme of birds and wings. Fittingly, this year’s show is an homage to these elements, brought to life through dazzling cabaret and burlesque performances.

We are delighted to offer two distinct seating options for this extraordinary evening. Choose between an intimate experience upstairs in the Baptist Gallery or immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere downstairs in the Baptist Bar. Upstairs, you will enjoy a more personal ambiance, perfect for sharing special moments with your guests while still enjoying all the performances. From this vantage point, you can peer over the balcony and witness the acts from the mezzanine, ensuring a truly unique view of the show. Downstairs, you'll be closer to the heart of the action, exposed to more of the performances, and right at the centre of the excitement. Whichever option you choose, rest assured you won't miss out on any of the night's magic—performances will take place both upstairs and downstairs, offering an immersive experience for all.

The evening will feature eight mesmerising performances, culminating in a grand finale, including acts such as The Foot Juggler, Neo Ballet, Hand Balance Artist, and Burlesque. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a life-sized, gilded birdcage at the centre of the room, setting the stage for a surprise performance.

Indulge in a sumptuous four-course menu featuring delights such as Crispy Rice & Scottish Lobster, Japanese Wagyu Tartar, Roasted Barbary Duck Breast, and Milk Chocolate Delice. Enjoy a special bird-themed cocktail created exclusively for the evening, complementing our exquisite duck dish.

Tickets: £345 per person, including Champagne on arrival, an amuse-bouche, four-course menu, Champagne at midnight, a live cabaret performance, and a DJ to keep you dancing into the night.

The event was a great success!JUNE, 2024

Thank you both for all your help for enabling my client event to take place at L’oscar on Friday.  The event was a great success and I wanted to highlight some specific feedback: Thanks to Sarah for responding to my enquiry so quickly and suggesting the right solution, and allowing me to hold the date for about a week before we could sign the contract. Huge thanks to Cassie for all your hard work on the logistics to get everything booked in for our event, liaising with all the teams and making sure that everything ran smoothly. Sokol was fantastic at running the F&B throughout the evening, Luigi and his team were also amazing.  It shows that your team go through a lot of training, operate really well together and are proud to deliver the events in the hotel.  Down to the little details of the evening doorman who told me when all the coats had been collected and he was locking the cloakroom. Our pre-event lunch in the restaurant was so tasty.  I hadn’t eaten there before and wow the quality was amazing. The hotel looks amazing – every space is beautiful and well looked after, every time I went to the bathroom they were immaculate. Our favourite canapes were the Vietnamese rolls and the chicken teriyaki….awesome! There were a lot of events for lawyers in London last week and one of the VIPs came up to me at the end of the night and said L’Oscar was the best venue he had been to all week.  So a huge THANK YOU and WELL DONE, you and the team really excelled and the clients were delighted.  Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved, it really was a pleasure to work with them all on Friday.
