Seminars and company events

Finch's can take a board meeting of 30 in a private room, a standing reception of 70, or a weekend party across the whole pub. It is a Young's pub at 12A Finsbury Square, on the northern edge of the City of London, between Moorgate, Old Street and Liverpool Street stations.

For daytime meetings the pub uses Henry's Den, its private room on the lower ground floor. In meeting format it seats up to 30 guests and comes with several screens, Wi-Fi and basic stationery. Half-day and full-day delegate packages are offered, with tea and coffee on arrival and refreshments in the afternoon. The room layout can be requested in advance, and food and drinks can be ordered to the table through the pub's app. After work, the same room turns into a party space with its own bar.

Office parties and Christmas parties have their own pages on the site. In season the pub runs a three-course festive menu, and the semi-private areas on the main floor suit after-work drinks for teams of 25 to 60.

Weddings and receptions

Finch's has a weddings page and lists Henry's Den among the rooms suited to wedding receptions. The site does not describe ceremonies on the premises, so couples should check what is possible with the events team. For a longer guest list, the whole pub can be hired on Saturdays and Sundays, with tailored menus and packages.

Rooms and capacities

Henry's Den is the only fully private room: 70 standing or 36 seated, with a fully stocked bar, a full audiovisual system, two TV screens, a microphone, a phone dock and its own outdoor area. It is available through the week.

Hobson's Square is the largest semi-private area, with 60 standing or 40 seated and large windows that bring in daylight. Finch's Alley takes 25 standing or 14 seated and stays open to the life of the pub while being reserved for one group. The Looking Glass, opposite the main bar, holds 30 standing and can be closed off with its own glass shutters.

Whole-pub hire gives access to two bars, the front terrace, large screens and the full sound and video system. The pub has step-free access and accessible toilets.

Catering

The kitchen serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner built on seasonal British dishes. The bar carries craft beers, a wine list and spirits from London distillers. Event menus and drinks packages are set with the events team for each booking. Food is served from 9:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and from 11:00 to 20:00 on Saturdays.

Getting there

Finsbury Square is a few minutes on foot from Moorgate, Old Street and Liverpool Street. Between them, these stations serve the Northern, Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Elizabeth lines, and Liverpool Street adds national rail services. The pub opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays outside private hire of the whole venue, so weekend events have the place to themselves.
