In its time, 116 Pall Mall has welcomed luminaries such as James Bond creator Ian Fleming, Sir Paul McCartney, the makers of The Dark Knight and the King of Norway to name but a few, adding a touch of extra sparkle to this already prestigious venue.

"Everybody was so professional, especially Marta. She was always there, every step of the way, which I’ve never experienced in 10 years of doing this. She never said ‘no’ to anything and she did everything with a smile. Honestly, it was so good working with her and the team at 116, and we’ve already booked the venue for our next event."

The 116 Pall Mall events and hospitality team have been incredible during this unexpected and extremely uncertain time. While many venues have played hard ball and I’ve heard of many lost deposits and contract wars, 116 Pall Mall have been fair and understanding in the cards we have all been dealt as event organisers. Thank you. It’s the good stories and nice people and businesses that will hopefully come out of this period winners.

Phil - Podge Events

Thank you for all of your assistance with our event, I really appreciate your help with getting everything set up before the event and for answering my many questions. You were delightful to work with. Thank you.

Please also pass along my thanks and congratulations to Henry, Paris, Rafa, and Lee as well. They were fantastic to work with and produced a great show. Our leadership was very pleased with the technological and program elements of the event and that level of excellence would not have been possible without your team.

Josh - The University of Texas

“I just wanted to pass on my huge thanks to you, Victor and the rest of the team for making our meetings run so smoothly this week. Every delegate we spoke to said how beautiful the buildings were and how smoothly everything had run, so thank you so much for making this happen. We really appreciate it, and I know our guests did too. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team and the catering staff.”

Hannah

“I just wanted to thank you for all your assistance with the delivery of our event at 116 Pall Mall. The AV equipment was faultless and allowed the event to run smoothly.

Please pass my gratitude onto Paris. Paris was very helpful and delivered a very professional and helpful service. The event would not have been such a success without his support.

I look forward to working with you and your team again soon.

Amber, University of West London

“Please pass on our thanks to the technician that looked after our speaker last night.  He was extremely professional and everything ran very smoothly.

It has been a pleasure to work with you and your team on this event.”

Katie, Ruffer

“Thank you so much for all your help in arranging our event last night.

The general consensus among our guests was that everything went extremely well and the Chairman and I are certainly very grateful to you and all your staff at 116 Pall Mall for facilitating that so calmly and efficiently.

I should also say that we (and, more importantly, the sponsors and prize winners) thought the AV support was especially good, so please let Conor know that Paris did a particularly good job throughout the evening and gave all those involved reassurance and confidence during what can sometimes be quite a stressful time.”

David, Award Event Organiser

“Working with you all at 116 Pall Mall was really so easy and it went so well. There were so many compliments on the room as well – it was a huge success.

Thank you so much for making this event go so well and please do pass my thanks on to the rest of the team.”

Georgina, Asset House Society

“Thank you so much 116 Pall Mall for a fantastic evening! The venue was stunning, food was delicious and the service was on point! Please pass on a huge thanks to Kyle our event coordinator for all his hard work! The feedback from everyone is that it was one of the best Christmas parties we’ve had in years! So good in fact that we could be back next Christmas!”
