What is the pricing structure for hiring the Events space at London Cable Car?

Event packages start from £500, with specific quotes depending on the size and type of event. For example, an event package for a drinks reception for up to 70 people is £2,750 (excluding VAT). Larger or more complex events may have higher package rates up to £10,000 or more as shown in quotes for networking and press events.

What are the capacity limits for the Event spaces?

The Main Hall and Mezzanine together accommodate up to 30 guests comfortably, while event quotes reference up to 60 or even 100 people for larger gatherings. For private cable car hire, standard cabins fit up to 10 people and Glass Floor Cabins up to 8, but actual capacity may be reduced for filming or equipment-heavy uses. Always confirm your guest count and setup with the venue for your desired configuration.

What are the available time slots and duration restrictions for events?

Event timing is flexible, with bookings shown from as early as 08:00 to as late as 00:30. Examples include events from 09:00-17:00 for conferences, 18:00-23:00 for parties, and specific evening hire options (e.g., 18:00-21:00 for a birthday). Final end times and access may depend on your booking package and setup requirements.

Are there any mandatory costs, fees, or add-ons that apply?

Quotes for event hire indicate package fees as the primary mandatory cost. There is no mention of required security, cleaning, or corkage as standard inclusions. However, all catering, drinks, and additional services are handled via bespoke packages or upgrades, with prices varying by event type. VAT is an additional 20% on listed package prices.

What is included in the base event package?

Packages typically include exclusive access to the booked Event space (Main Hall and/or Mezzanine), private bar access, WiFi, and indoor/outdoor use. Some packages also bundle in round-trip cable car rides for guests and premium drinks. Specific inclusions—such as catering, entertainment, or additional spaces—must be requested and are costed separately in bespoke quotes.

What are the restrictions or limitations for using the Events space?

The venue may impose specific guest limits based on room selection (30 for Main Hall/Mezzanine, up to 100 in some configurations). The cable car cabins have strict size limits (max 10 per standard cabin and 8 per premium cabin). Non-standard equipment or setups, such as AV, filming rigs, or large props, may further reduce capacity or require additional approval. No specific prohibitions (such as décor or supplier restrictions) are listed.

How does the booking process work and what are the payment timelines?

Booking typically involves direct enquiry with event details, discussion to determine the correct package, and confirmation of availability. Payment timelines and deposit requirements are not specifically stated. Clients are invited to discuss details via phone or online diary before confirming a booking; exact billing procedures should be confirmed with the venue during enquiry.

Are there requirements or processes for using external vendors or suppliers?

There is no information provided about restrictions on external suppliers or mandatory use of in-house catering and entertainment. Bespoke catering and entertainment are offered as venue services, but approval processes or corkage/outsider fees are not specified. Clients should confirm any external vendor needs directly at enquiry stage.

Are there accessibility features for guests with disabilities?

The studio/Events space is described as fully accessible. If accessibility is a critical requirement, confirm exact features (ramps, lifts, accessible toilets) with the events team during your booking process.

Are there venue-specific rules regarding use of cable cars during events?

Exclusive cable car trips can be included in your event package as an added experience. Each private cabin has strict capacity limits (up to 10 in standard, up to 8 in Glass Floor Cabin), which may be reduced for equipment-heavy activities such as filming. Timings for cable car rides will need to be coordinated with overall event timings.
