Queens of Mayfair is a café and cocktail venue at 17 Queen Street, London, that takes private bookings for company drinks, product launches, networking evenings, press events and private dinners. It holds up to 44 guests standing or 24 seated. A group can hire it fully privately or take a semi-private booking.
Seminars and company events
The private hire page lists the uses the team accepts. For business, these are company drinks, networking evenings, press and influencer events, product and brand launches, filming and photoshoots, and private breakfasts and brunches. Christmas parties and celebration lunches are listed as well. The venue does not describe meeting rooms, screens or seminar layouts, so it fits hosted events and receptions, not a working day. An enquiry form asks for your company, preferred date and time, number of guests and any food and drink requirements, which helps the team answer with something specific.
Rooms and capacities
Queens of Mayfair is a single café space. The team states that it can comfortably host up to 44 guests standing and up to 24 seated, so a seated dinner is smaller than a drinks reception.
Two booking formats are offered. Full private hire means just your group has the venue. Semi-private means the front of the café stays open to the public for takeaway purchases while your group uses the rest of the space. Choose according to how much privacy a launch or press event needs.
Catering
Food and drink are handled by the venue itself. The team says it can be flexible and cater for many kinds of requests: nibbles, canapés and a formal four-course meal. A custom drinks menu is prepared for each event. The everyday menu is organised around brunch, lunch, drinks, afternoon tea and cocktails, so a private breakfast, a tea or an evening of cocktails all fit the same house style. Tell the team about dietary requirements in the enquiry form.
History and setting
Queens of Mayfair describes itself as a home away from home in Mayfair, for visitors, residents and workers who want good food and drink without a hotel visit. The brand lists a coffee shop, an events space and cocktails in its title. Normal opening hours are 7:45 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday and 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekends and bank holidays. Private events can be arranged by enquiry, so ask about evenings.
Getting there
The address is 17 Queen Street, Mayfair, London W1J 5PH. For private hire, call +44 20 7459 4617 or write to reservations@queensofmayfair.com. The venue sits in central Mayfair, close to the area's offices, hotels and shops, so guests can often arrive on foot from a nearby workplace or hotel.
