About Upper Arch
50 Standing / Reception
30 Seated
The **Upper Arch** feels like your own private gallery where Victorian brickwork meets contemporary art. This semi-private space runs along the upper level of our converted railway arch, where daylight pours through the large glass entrance and catches the textures of our reclaimed wooden floors. A giant billboard from one of our rotating artists dominates one wall, setting the tone for celebrations that feel both intimate and creative. We've positioned a raised platform at one end, where DJs spin everything from commercial R&B to house classics during weekend parties, or where company directors deliver presentations during midweek events. The curved pink booth tucked against the exposed brick has become everyone's favourite spot for group photos, its playful colour popping against the earthy tones of the original architecture. The space holds 30 guests comfortably seated or opens up for 50 standing, making it work equally well for sit-down birthday dinners or cocktail-style engagement parties. Our pendant lighting creates different moods throughout the evening, while the arch's natural acoustics mean conversations flow easily even when the music picks up. You'll find the connection to our main bar area keeps drinks service smooth, with our team moving between spaces without interrupting your celebration. Corporate groups appreciate how the daylight transforms morning meetings, while party planners love how the space shifts personality after dark. The artwork changes regularly, so returning guests often find a completely different aesthetic waiting for them. We're right between Southwark and Blackfriars stations, making arrivals straightforward whether guests are coming from the office or travelling in for special occasions. Our customers consistently mention the professional service and the unique character of the space, particularly noting how the quirky architectural details create an atmosphere you won't find in standard event venues.

SAMA offers a lovely cosy room on the ground floor. The setting is quirky and unusual. The service was super professional and efficient. All in all, we are super happy.
