WE DO SPECIAL EVENTS

The Natural Philosopher is the Perfect Venue for Private Hire in East London

Dreaming of a private soirée that's as unique as you are? Whether you're planning a birthday bash, a lively leaving party, a romantic engagement celebration, or an enchanting wedding reception, The Natural Philosopher offers an extraordinary backdrop for your unforgettable moments in East London.

Partial Hire in Bethnal Green/Hackney

Forget the stuffy function rooms; at The Natural Philosopher, your party gets exclusive access to our charming main cocktail bar area. With the capacity to host 30-40 guests, our intimate setting in Cambridge Heath sits right on the cusp of Bethnal Green and Hackney, and promises an atmospheric charm that will captivate your guests.

Full Venue Hire

For larger events, secure the entire venue in Cambridge Heath and enjoy enticing cocktails for 41-60 people. We operate on a minimum spend system, adjusted according to your booking's timing and day, ensuring no dreary hire fees.

Simple and Transparent Booking Process

We believe in simplicity and transparency. To confirm your private hire, we request a 20% deposit of the minimum spend. This deposit can be your magic ticket to kick off the celebrations with a round of welcome drinks for your guests. Alternatively, it can be fully refunded at the end of the night once the minimum spend is achieved. And if you don't quite reach the minimum spend, all you need to do is make up the difference at the end of the night.

Perfect for Office Parties and Networking Events

Planning an office party or a special networking event? Take advantage of our pre-order service, ideal for putting a tab behind the bar. Otherwise, drinks are served and paid for individually, promising a smooth bar experience for all.

Set the Perfect Mood with Your Music

Want to set the perfect mood? For full venue hires, feel free to play your own Spotify or Deezer playlists and dance the night away to your favorite tunes. If you're not in charge of the music, rest assured our eclectic mix of indie, alternative, and nu-disco tunes will keep the good vibes flowing.

Bring Your Own Food for a Personalised Experience

While we don't have a kitchen, you're more than welcome to organise outside food to be brought into the venue. We can recommend some excellent canapé companies to provide buffet style catering for your event, or why not grab some pizza from our friends at Yard Sale! After all, what's a good party without some delightful nibbles?
