About Lower Basement
80 Banquet
130 Standing / Reception
Three hundred years of brick and timber frame our Lower Basement, where wedding celebrations and birthday parties come alive beneath The Magpie & Stump. We've kept the original exposed brickwork that's been here since Tudor times, paired with warm lantern lighting that casts a golden glow across the space as your guests arrive through our private entrance. Our versatile room welcomes up to 130 guests for drinks and dancing, or we can arrange seating for 80 if you're planning a banquet-style celebration. The wooden tables and vintage photographs on the walls tell stories of centuries past, while our fully stocked bar keeps the present moment flowing with everything from craft beers to classic cocktails. We particularly love how the brick archways create natural conversation corners where guests gather between toasts. Corporate parties find the atmosphere strikes just the right balance, professional yet relaxed, while birthday celebrations benefit from the separate entrance that lets you control the flow of your event. Wedding receptions often start upstairs in our main pub for welcome drinks before descending to this more intimate space for dinner and dancing. The basement's natural acoustics mean your playlist sounds great without overwhelming conversation, and we can clear the central area completely when it's time to hit the dancefloor. Being right across from the Old Bailey means your guests can easily reach us via City Thameslink or St Paul's tube station. The historic setting adds something special to milestone birthdays and engagement parties, where the centuries-old walls have witnessed countless celebrations before yours. Our experienced team knows exactly how to configure the space for your specific needs, whether that's long banquet tables for a wedding breakfast or cocktail-style arrangements for a reunion.
