The Botanist Broadgate Circle

The Botanist Broadgate Circle occupies a prime spot in the City's most recognisable dining piazza — a modern British restaurant, cocktail bar, and basement late-night club two minutes from Liverpool Street Station, with event spaces handling everything from 8-person dinners to 350-guest exclusive hires across three vertically stacked zones.

The Broadgate Circle location carries weight. It's a known destination in the City rather than a side-street discovery, which means corporate guests arrive with positive associations and know exactly where they're going. The covered Circle provides weather-protected outdoor space that extends the venue's ground floor, and the surrounding restaurants and bars create an atmosphere that benefits even before guests step inside.

Three Floors, Three Moods

The ground-floor restaurant delivers polished City dining — high-quality British and European food, serious cocktails, and natural light from the Circle-facing windows. The Copper Bar, with its own private bar and more intimate proportions, offers the kind of semi-private dining space that corporate clients particularly value: close enough to the venue's energy to feel alive, separate enough for confidential conversation.

Then the Soda Room changes the register entirely. A basement club with flexible dance floor, late licence to 1am, and DJ equipment — it's Broadgate Circle's only late-night venue, and for events that want to begin with dinner and end with dancing, the vertical layout means the transition happens via a staircase rather than a taxi.

City Events with Late-Night Capability

The ETM Collection venue (formerly New World Trading Company) balances professional daytime capability — breakfast meetings, working lunches, corporate entertaining — with an evening and late-night atmosphere that most City bar-restaurants can't match. The Soda Room's availability for exclusive hire on selected daytimes and evenings adds an unconventional space for team building, workshops, and creative events that benefit from an environment designed to energise rather than sedate.

Live music runs through the week, weekend brunch brings a different crowd, and the cocktail programme has built its reputation across the City's competitive bar scene. For event planners, it means booking a venue with its own established identity rather than a blank space that requires production to create atmosphere.
