Mercato Mayfair takes corporate events, parties and receptions for up to 300 standing or 280 seated guests in the Main Market, with three further spaces that can be hired on their own: a first-floor gallery, the crypt and a roof terrace. The venue is a food and drink market run by Mercato Metropolitano inside St Mark's Church, a Grade I-listed building on North Audley Street in Mayfair, London.
Seminars and company events
The venue publishes a corporate brochure for private hire and suits formats where food and drink lead: a company party, a client reception, a team evening or a product launch in an unusual room. Large groups can take the Main Market, the former church nave, for up to 300 standing guests or 280 seated. Smaller teams can book the Crypt for 60 seated or 100 standing, or the 1st Floor Galleria for 60 seated or 120 standing, both of which keep a group together without closing the main floor. The venue does not describe plenary equipment or meeting packages, so a classic seminar is less of a fit than an evening event.
Weddings and receptions
The private hire pages focus on corporate and social events and do not present a wedding offer. For a standing reception or a party, the Roof Terrace adds an outdoor option for up to 60 standing or 40 seated.
Rooms and capacities
Main Market: 280 seated, 300 standing, under the stained glass of the church. 1st Floor Galleria: 60 seated, 120 standing, overlooking the main floor. The Crypt: 60 seated, 100 standing, a lower level with its own bars and kitchens. Roof Terrace: 40 seated, 60 standing.
Catering
Food comes from the market's own traders, which gives a wide spread of cuisines for one event. Current vendors include Italian delis and pasta makers, Neapolitan pizza, seafood and lobster, steaks and burgers, Thai, Japanese sushi and sake, bao and ramen, plant-based Mexican, Indian-inspired dishes, Spanish market cooking, gelato and desserts. Several stalls serve halal food, and vegetarian options are wide. Drinks come from the in-house bars, among them a cocktail bar, a German craft beer bar, the terrace bar and the Mercato bar. The private hire team can tell you how a menu is built across the traders.
History and setting
St Mark's Church was built in the 1820s and is Grade I listed. After it stopped serving as a parish church, Mercato Metropolitano restored it and opened it as a food and cultural hub in 2019. The market runs over several levels: the main floor in the nave, a first-floor gallery with more restaurants and seating, the crypt below and a terrace on the roof. Outside private hire, it is open to the public seven days a week, from 9 am until 11 pm on most days and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
