Savage Garden takes drinks receptions, company parties, private dinners and board meetings for up to 380 guests across a main bar, rooftop terraces and a private dining room on the 12th floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London, Tower of London. The venue sits at 7 Pepys Street, on the eastern edge of the City of London, and can be booked by area or for exclusive use.
Seminars and company events
For meetings, Ferus works as a boardroom for up to 25 people. Its floor-to-ceiling windows face the Gherkin, the Walkie-Talkie and The Shard, and the same room seats 32 for dinner, so a board meeting can run straight into a meal without changing floors. For larger company events, such as client receptions, product launches, team parties and year-end drinks, the Main Bar holds 180 standing, and the Wildside terrace takes 120 under a retractable roof that keeps an evening going in the rain. Booking all spaces together brings the total to 380 guests. On its exclusive-hire dates the venue closes to the public, so a company can have the whole floor to itself. The events team sorts enquiries into corporate bookings, social bookings and exclusive use.
Weddings and receptions
Social bookings cover private celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries and drinks receptions. Ferus suits a seated dinner for up to 32, while the Main Bar and the terrace handle standing receptions for larger groups. The website does not describe wedding ceremonies or wedding packages.
Rooms and capacities
Wildside is the rooftop terrace, open to the sky in good weather and covered when the roof closes, for up to 120 guests. The Main Bar takes 180 for a standing reception and looks toward the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Ferus seats 32 at dinner or 25 around a boardroom table. The venue describes two rooftop terraces in all, alongside the bar and the dining room. A 3D tour on the website lets planners walk through the spaces before a site visit, which helps when deciding how to split a group between bar, terrace and private room.
Accommodation
Savage Garden is part of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London, Tower of London, so out-of-town guests can stay in the building below the bar.
Catering
The kitchen serves its own menu, called Savage Food, and the bar runs a full drinks list. Food and drinks for events are planned with the events team.
History and setting
From 12 floors up, the bar faces the Tower of London and Tower Bridge on one side and the towers of the City on the other. The view from Ferus takes in three of the best-known modern buildings in London: the Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe, the Walkie-Talkie at 20 Fenchurch Street and The Shard across the river.
Getting there
The hotel stands on Pepys Street, a short walk from Tower Hill Underground station and Fenchurch Street rail station.
