The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell
The Zetter Townhouse Clerkenwell nestled in the heart of East London just minutes from Farringdon station and the new Crossrail on the historic and picturesque St Johns Square, one of London’s hidden treasure locations, is a spectacular setting for intimate dinners, important meetings or even as the definitive party pad of the year. As you step through the unmissable blue front door of this award winning 13-bedroom Georgian townhouse hotel and cocktail lounge, you could be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled across the private residence of an eccentric and fabulous ancestor. With sumptuous interiors by Russell Sage, this eclectic property is crammed full, from top to bottom with collectibles, taxidermy and ‘Victoriana’ from fictional proprietor Aunt Wilhelmina’s world travels and adventures.
The Dining Room located on the ground floor seats up to 12 people around a regency style table, ideal for sit down dinners or board meetings. At the end of a meeting or private dinner, throw open the doors that lead into the Cocktail Lounge, order award-winning cocktails and soak up the ambiance of the Townhouse. The Games Room on the lower ground floor is perfect for cocktail parties for up to 50 guests or private dinners for up to 40 guests. Also well suited to leisurely wedding breakfasts, sophisticated soiree’s, and even important board meetings.
For larger parties and events you could even hold the keys to the entire Townhouse and all its contents. Enjoy a tailor-made feast created by The Zetter Group Chef and some of our delicious and famous cocktails, making for a winning combination and perfect setting for your event. The property and all it’s contents including 13 individually designed bedrooms is yours from 3pm on your arrival day until departure the following day at 11am, everyone is welcome to enjoy food and drinks on arrival and up until 1am.
