Planning a private event at Babylon

The questions we end up asking anyway — worth answering before you send the enquiry.

By Babylon Garden Affair

Most enquiries open with a date and a headcount. Both matter, but neither shapes the evening as much as the questions below — which we end up asking anyway, usually a few messages later.

  • Seated dinner or standing reception? The same area holds very different numbers depending on which.
  • Does anyone need to speak, and does everyone need to hear it?
  • Shared menu, or does the group need individual choice?
  • What time does it genuinely need to end?

You may not need the whole venue

Because the floor divides into distinct areas, a private booking does not have to mean taking all of it. There are two private rooms, three enclosed VVIP booths along the west wall, and a cigar lounge set off the main floor. A smaller group can have a genuinely enclosed evening without paying for a room built for three times their number.

The most common mistake is booking for the number on the invitation rather than the number who will actually arrive.

Send the enquiry earlier than feels necessary. The areas that suit smaller groups are the first to go, and dates near the end of the year are taken months ahead.

How a night at Babylon unfolds

We open at noon and close at two, or at four on Fridays and Saturdays. That is fourteen hours for one room to hold, and it does not hold them by staying the same. Here is what changes, hour by hour and night by night.

Where to sit at Babylon: a guide to every part of the floor

The floor is not one open room. There are twenty-one bar stools, ten islands, ten VIP tables, three VVIP booths and two private rooms, and the difference between them decides your evening more than anything you order.

What to order on your first visit

There are three menus here, not one, and most of the confusion on a first visit comes from not knowing which is in your hands. A guide to reading them, and to the order we would actually place.
