Keep reading and we’ll explore what they offer for private venue hire. We also share what the venue includes, and some helpful tips for planning your important event at this beautiful hidden gem.
A brief history of the London Gin Club
In the 18th century, London went through what was known as “The Gin Craze”. During this time, production of the spirit increased dramatically and it became the most popular drink in the city.
Even though legislation eventually slowed the craze, Londoners still aren’t quite over their love of gin.
Two gin enthusiasts decided to take their love of the drink to the next level. In doing so, they opened the city’s most comprehensive gin bar in a historic building on Great Chapel Street. Now known as The London Gin Club, the building dates back to the times of the original craze that swept through the city.
Since 2011, they have been providing patrons with a cosy and intimate space. Here, members learn about gin, sample new varieties, and socialise with fellow aficionados.
Address: 22 Great Chapel Street, London, W1F 8FR
