Welcome to the place for adventures in tastes and experiences.
In days gone by, explorers and adventurers were the talk of London town. Behold a residence where you can still trade and travel the globe; bartering for the exotic or the exquisite. The Trading House is the place that keeps these traditions alive in the heart of Bank.
Trade your inquisitive nature for an array of flavours, textures and commodities in our array of menus. Choose to dine at any time of day with menus dedicated to unique lunches and evening socialising, set alongside the finest selection of hand-selected wine, ales and cocktails. The backbone to our delicious dining options is our in-house rotisserie and grill.
Or discover the world in detail with our masterclasses inspired by our adventures overseas; choose from cocktails, ale and gin.
For those wishing to celebrate in more private surroundings, The Mezzanine offers your own private area, overlooking the splendour of our venue. Available for up to 50 people, it even comes complete with your very own bar! Ideal for corporate gatherings, private parties or even a cocktail masterclass.
