Full Venue Hire at Aviary

Ten floors above Finsbury Square, Aviary delivers rooftop dining and event space with panoramic city views that extend across the entire London skyline. Part of the ETM Collection and perched atop the Montcalm Royal London House hotel, this is a rooftop venue with genuine substance — a working restaurant with a serious kitchen, multiple hireable spaces across the ninth and tenth floors, and hotel integration that simplifies logistics for events with overnight guests.

Aviary’s Rooftop Restaurant, Lounge and Terrace

Exclusive venue hire accommodates up to 350 standing or 120 seated across the entire tenth floor — the restaurant, bar, and expansive open-air terrace combined. The Lounge handles 120 standing for semi-private receptions with terrace access, while the Glass Box provides a contained semi-private area for 50 standing behind floor-to-ceiling windows looking directly onto the terrace and skyline beyond. The open-air terrace itself is one of the most elevated al fresco event settings in the City, running the full width of the building with views in every direction. Heated igloos extend usability through winter — a detail that turns what would otherwise be a summer-only asset into a year-round event feature. During warmer months, the terrace bar operates independently, giving receptions and parties genuine outdoor atmosphere with full drinks service.

The Palm Rooms and Private Terrace at Aviary

One floor below, the Palm Rooms on the ninth floor offer something most rooftop venues lack entirely: genuine privacy. Three interlocking rooms open onto a dedicated private terrace separate from the main restaurant — 120 standing combined, or individual rooms seating 14 each. For corporate entertaining, private celebrations, or VIP areas during larger events upstairs, the Palm Rooms operate as a self-contained venue within the venue, with their own outdoor space and independently managed service. A private dining room provides an intimate option for smaller groups, while the combination of ninth and tenth floors means multi-element events can run across levels — welcome drinks on the main terrace, dinner in the Palm Rooms, afterparty in the Lounge — without any space feeling like a compromise or overflow area.

Dining, Hotel Integration and Events at Aviary

The ETM Collection kitchen produces seasonal British menus with a focus on elevated comfort food — bespoke event packages range from canapé and cocktail receptions to three-course seated dinners and sharing-format banquets. The bar team handles signature cocktails, curated wine lists, and drinks packages tailored to event requirements. Weekend Birdsong Brunches — live entertainment, DJs, seafood and dessert sharing towers with free-flowing drinks — demonstrate the venue’s capacity for energetic, production-backed hospitality. Montcalm Royal London House sits directly below with 250-plus rooms, which means accommodation for overnight guests, potential group rates through the Montcalm Club loyalty programme, and simplified logistics for multi-day events or celebrations where guests are travelling in. Moorgate, Liverpool Street, and Old Street stations are all within walking distance, placing it centrally for City and East London corporate teams. AV and branding options are available for corporate bookings, and the venue operates until midnight seven days a week.
