Exclusive Venue Hire at M Threadneedle Street

M Threadneedle Street is a multi-award-winning City restaurant that scales from a 16-cover private dinner to a 500-person standing reception — and brings genuine culinary credentials to each. Created by Martin Williams (former MD of Gaucho), with Executive Chef Michael Reid bringing a lineage that includes Gordon Ramsay and Michel Roux Jr, the venue operates as the UK’s first fusion steakhouse, sourcing beef from six countries including A5 Japanese Kobe. Full exclusive hire accommodates 220 seated or 500 standing across the 120-cover Grill restaurant, the M Bar mezzanine, private dining rooms, the members’ lounge, and the Wagyu Room. The venue holds a licence for ceremonies and civil partnerships, making it one of the few City restaurants where a wedding can take place in the same space as the reception and dinner.

Private Dining and Event Spaces at M Threadneedle Street

The Grill Mezzanine overlooks the main restaurant and seats 22 — a semi-private space with its own character, suited to informal corporate meetings, team dinners, and occasions where proximity to the restaurant’s energy is part of the appeal. The Underground Station is the largest private dining room, seating 40 boardroom-style in a basement space that can split into two separate workspaces — soundproofed, AV-equipped, and designed for meetings that need genuine privacy. The Hudson Room seats around 16 in a secluded setting for breakfast, brunch, and dinner events. The Wagyu Room takes Japanese inspiration and hosts pop-ups, masterclasses, and dining clubs on the top floor. The M Den is a private members’ lounge holding around 100, adding another layer to the venue’s versatility.

The M Bar

The mezzanine-level M Bar is the venue’s cocktail and events heart, accommodating up to 150 standing with a live music stage, DJ infrastructure, and the atmosphere of a destination bar rather than a restaurant annex. Drinks receptions, post-dinner dancing, and standalone cocktail events all work here. Enomatic wine machines and hidden bars within the venue add discovery moments for guests who explore.

Food, Wine, and the Fusion Steakhouse Concept

The kitchen operates around a fusion concept that draws from six countries — USA, Argentina, Japan, France, South Africa, and Australia — with the wine list following the same geography. Steaks range from South African ribeye to Grade 10+/A5 Japanese pure Kobe fillet. Complimentary menu tastings are available for events, and the kitchen handles everything from breakfast meetings to multi-course formal dinners. Sustainability is built into the operation, with carbon-calculated group dining menus and locally sourced produce as standard.

Weddings and Ceremonies at M Threadneedle Street

The ceremony licence makes M one of the few City restaurants where couples can marry on-site. The entire day unfolds in one building — ceremony, drinks reception in the M Bar, dinner in the Grill restaurant, dancing until 1am. For couples who want a City wedding with restaurant-quality food and multiple distinct spaces, the format eliminates the transport logistics that separate-venue weddings create.

Getting to M Threadneedle Street

Bank station is three minutes’ walk. The EC2 address at 60 Threadneedle Street places the venue in the heart of the financial district, serving City professionals and corporate clients who need a central location with serious food credentials. The 1am alcohol licence gives evening events room to develop, and the venue’s range — from intimate PDR to 500-standing exclusive — means it handles the full spectrum of City entertaining.
