About Madison
Madison occupies one of those rare positions in London where the view isn't just a bonus — it defines the venue. From the rooftop of One New Change, St Paul's Cathedral fills the sightline at eye level, close enough to feel immersive rather than distant. It's the backdrop for everything that happens here, from a Tuesday evening cocktail to a 750-guest exclusive hire.
Rooftop Dining Above the City
The New York-inspired restaurant and bar bring a transatlantic energy to the Square Mile — modern American grills, a cocktail-led bar programme, and in-house DJs that shift the mood from relaxed lunch to late-night atmosphere. It's a restaurant that functions as a venue rather than a private hire space that happens to serve food, and that distinction matters for events where guests want to feel part of something rather than confined to a function room.
Madison's Terrace Spaces
Multiple terraces wrap the rooftop, and they're equipped for year-round use with retractable covers and permanent heating. The Upper Terrace at 220 standing is where the energy concentrates; the VIP Moët Terrace at 60 guests offers a more intimate register with its own Champagne bar. For summer parties, product launches, and any event where being outdoors above the City matters, the terraces deliver something no ground-floor venue can replicate.
Events at Madison
Part of the Evolv Collection, Madison handles events with a hospitality team experienced in high-volume entertaining. Exclusive hire takes the full venue to 750 standing, while partial hires — restaurant, bar, and lower terrace combined — handle 350 to 500. St Paul's station is steps away, and the One New Change lift delivers guests straight to the rooftop with the cathedral framed in glass beside them.
