About Magpie Bar
150 Banquet
125 Theatre
150 Standing / Reception
The Magpie Bar transforms from historic pub to enchanting wedding venue with all the character you'd expect from a building that's witnessed London life since 1550. Wood floors gleam beneath the soft glow of vintage lighting, while your guests sink into the deep leather Chesterfield sofa or gather around sturdy wooden tables topped with ornate stools. We've kept the original exposed brickwork that gives the space its authentic London pub feel, complemented by our carefully curated collection of vintage photographs and artwork covering the walls. The fireplace, surrounded by old books and flickering candles, creates an intimate focal point where wedding parties naturally congregate for photos and conversations. Large windows flood the room with natural light during afternoon receptions, picking up the rich tones in our patterned upholstery and highlighting every historical detail. Our versatile layout accommodates up to 150 guests for standing receptions or 125 for seated dinners, with our team configuring the space to match your vision. Some couples clear the floor completely for dancing, while others create distinct zones for dining, mingling, and quieter conversations. The basement location provides privacy from the main pub above, yet guests can still venture upstairs to explore our three floors, sample from 20 draught beers, or take advantage of our cocktail offerings. Just minutes from City Thameslink and St. Paul's tube station, your wedding guests find us easily at 18 Old Bailey, directly across from the Old Bailey courthouse. The combination of central location, flexible space, and genuine historic atmosphere makes the Magpie Bar particularly suited to couples seeking a wedding venue with authentic London character rather than anonymous function room blandness.
