Full Venue Hire at Lost Society (Battersea SW11)

Lost Society is an art deco cocktail bar on Battersea Park Road with two distinct personalities — a lavishly styled interior and a hidden botanical garden — that together make it one of South West London’s more photogenic event hires. Full venue hire accommodates 350 standing and is available Monday to Thursday, when the bar is closed to the public and the entire space becomes exclusively yours. The art deco styling is the immediate draw. Velvet seating, brass accents, ornate wallpapers, neon artwork, and chandeliers create a setting that photographs from every angle without requiring additional decoration. The interiors were designed to reference the glamour of the 1920s and 30s, and they deliver — guests feel dressed for the occasion without the formality that traditional venues impose.

The Lounge Bar at Lost Society

The Lounge Bar is the venue’s dedicated private hire space, accommodating up to 80 guests with its own bar, private bartender, and direct access to the garden. A conservatory-style roof with a glass skylight floods the room with natural daylight, while hanging plants, disco balls, and leopard-print details give it a character that sits somewhere between botanical conservatory and cocktail lounge. Evening lighting can be fully controlled. The Lounge Bar comes with its own bartender who creates bespoke cocktails for the event. For parties that want music, a resident DJ can be added with your choice of soundtrack — the music from the main room is also relayed through. The room seats up to 30 for private dining.

The Lost Garden

The garden is the summer hire headline — a monochrome botanical terrace that extends the art deco aesthetic outdoors with its own bar, outdoor seating, and a partially covered, heated setup that makes it viable through cooler months. Capacity sits at around 120, with BBQ menus available for garden events. The garden includes DJ equipment, a flat-screen TV, and a small stage for entertainment. Exclusive garden hires are available on weekdays and weekend daytimes.

Events and Hire at Lost Society

Full venue exclusive hire operates Monday to Thursday, when the bar is closed to regular trade. The Lounge Bar can be hired privately throughout the week, including weekends. The in-house kitchen produces canapés, sharing food, and BBQ menus for garden events. Bespoke cocktail menus are standard for private hire — the bar team will design a menu around your event. Alcohol licence runs to 2am, with 1am extensions available on Thursdays by request. Over-21s policy applies after 9pm with ID required.

Getting to Lost Society Battersea

Battersea Power Station is 15 minutes’ walk, with Battersea Park and Queenstown Road rail stations both around 10 minutes. Bus routes 44 (from Tooting or Victoria) and 344 (from Clapham Junction or Liverpool Street) stop at Battersea Park Library nearby. The SW11 location on Battersea Park Road gives the venue genuine neighbourhood character — this is a local institution, not a corporate event box.
