Guinness Vaults Events

You’d be forgiven for not knowing, but beneath Covent Garden is Guinness Vaults, a historic underground venue offering a distinctive setting for corporate events, launches, and private functions. Once part of the old Guinness brewery, it boasts exposed brick and vaulted ceilings with a sense of history that does most of the talking for you.

Across its flexible event spaces, the venue moves easily from daytime presentations to evening receptions and networking drinks. It’s practical where it needs to be, atmospheric everywhere else, and has just enough character to make even a slide deck feel slightly more important than it actually is. It’s practical, atmospheric, and just a little dramatic in the best way.

Highlights of Guinness Vaults Events:

  • Central Covent Garden location
  • Historic brewery heritage
  • Vaulted underground setting
  • Flexible event flow

    Bottle Room

    The Bottle Room is a contemporary space equipped with state-of-the-art screens and striking artwork featuring glass fragments, designed by Welsh-Irish graphic designer Annie Atkins. Best known for her work on The Grand Budapest Hotel with Wes Anderson, Atkins collaborated with Essex-based glass artist Jon Lewis, who handmade the glass elements in his studio drawing inspiration from old Guinness bottles. Refined and versatile, the Bottle Room is ideally suited to conferences and seated dinners.

  • Barrel Room

    Once part of the former Coombe & Co. brewery, which closed in 1905, the Barrel Room is rich in brewing heritage. Historically used to store beer barrels, the space still bears the marks of its working past, with areas of original brickwork worn away over time and thoughtfully replaced with granite to reflect the room’s function and history. Features a bespoke installation by London-based sign painter Archie Proudfoot. Full of character and atmosphere, the Barrel Room is ideally suited to standing receptions and intimate dinners.
