About Rake's Front Room
110 Standing / Reception
75 Seated
The red walls of Rake's Front Room hit you first, a bold Victorian statement that sets the tone for everything that follows. We've kept the original moldings and stained glass windows from this former railway hotel, but added contemporary art and geometric bar designs that make the space feel current, not preserved. The bar itself becomes a focal point, its shelves lined with spirits catching the light just right, while our bartenders craft cocktails inspired by 'The Rake's Progress'. Our seating tells its own story, plush sofas in jewel tones mixed with statement chairs that create natural conversation spots throughout the room. During standing receptions for up to 110 guests, people naturally gravitate to these intimate corners, drinks in hand, while the main floor stays open for mingling. For seated dinners, we configure the space for 75, maintaining that sense of energy without feeling cramped. The versatility here is what our clients love most. Morning power breakfasts benefit from the natural light streaming through those original windows, while evening parties take on a different character entirely when we dim the lights and bring in live music or DJs. The full bar runs all night, and yes, we have the licenses sorted for late celebrations. Being directly above Liverpool Street Station means your guests actually arrive on time, and when they're ready to continue the party, Shoreditch is a five-minute walk. Our events team knows this room inside out, from where to position the DJ booth for best acoustics to which corner photographs best for those inevitable social media moments. Whether you're planning a product launch, birthday celebration, or company party, Rake's Front Room offers that rare combination of Victorian character and contemporary comfort that makes London venues special.
