What diners say
We hired the Gallery for a private event. Staff were polite and professional and the spaces are modern and welcoming. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, the pizzas are very tasty and the Exhibit is in a great location, well served by buses, tube and trains. There was a small issue on the night and management handled with discretion and understanding. There's a few reasons why they don't get 5 stars, the room was not clean when we came to set up, there was still dirt and debris present from the previous function. The toilets weren't maintained during our event not topped up with tissue, soap etc. Lastly the venue isn't fully accessible which in 2026 is quite disappointing, especially as there were three flights of stairs to get to the gallery. Overall I still recommend the event space here.

We had such a great night with amazing cocktails, delicious food, and a really fun atmosphere. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. You can tell a lot of care and attention goes into each one (we ended up trying almost the whole menu!). The venue itself is super cool & relaxed with a chilled vibe early on, then it picks up later with a lively, going-out vibe. Definitely recommend this bar (and the area) if you’re looking for a spontaneous night out!

I hosted my first brand launch and networking event for Luxury Haven at Exhibit, and honestly, it came together so well. They have multiple spaces to choose from, which makes it really flexible depending on the type of event you’re planning. I went with The Studio, which worked perfectly for the kind of atmosphere I wanted to create. I actually used to work at Exhibit myself, so I know firsthand the level of time, care, and effort that goes into making sure events run smoothly for guests. That definitely showed throughout my experience as a client—they were supportive, organised, and happy to help with everything I needed in the lead-up to the event. I also managed to secure the space for a really reasonable price, which made a big difference when planning everything else. The only thing I would say is that I would have loved a bit more variety when it comes to group party food bookings. The canapé options weren’t ideal for my guests, so I ended up opting for pizza instead, which worked much better for everyone. On the night itself, everything ran really smoothly. I didn’t catch the name of the bar staff member who looked after us, but he was so lovely and really added to the overall experience—I even gave him one of my Luxury Haven goodie bags and some chocolates as a thank you. Overall, it was a great event and a really positive experience. I spoke to quite a few venues before booking, and nothing quite matched what Exhibit could offer in terms of space, flexibility, and atmosphere. The location is also perfect, which is a huge bonus for guests. I’d definitely recommend Exhibit to anyone looking to host an event.

Overall such a great experience! We were able to celebrate two birthdays and a baby shower all in one and all of our needs were catered to. Janae (Bartender) and Rui (Manager) were amazing at communicating with myself and the guests and also providing such high quality service. I will definitely be booking again and once I’m able to be in a bar setting properly, would love to be back for some drinks! Thank you all so so much :)
