Wednesday 12 March 2025

At Venue Search London, we love to support our clients with their unique and interesting venue search briefs. Especially when it comes to finding the perfect venue influenced by a particular theme for the given brief. 

This month marks International Women's Day (Saturday 8th March) and although the day may be over, celebrating women shouldn’t be limited to just one day! Whether you're planning a networking event, a creative workshop, or a social corporate occasion, choosing the right venue sets the tone for your event. From women-led spaces to venues founded by females, we are delighted to share our top female-focused venues here in London...

St Pancras Renaissance Hotel

This iconic and grand five-star hotel located in St Pancras Station hosts a variety of exclusive events, and has proved to be the ideal setting and location for some of television and films' much-loved classics such as; Harry Potter, Batman, Mission Impossible and Bridget Jones to name a few! However, it goes without saying that our favourite has to be the Spice Girls performance on the iconic staircase which features in the 1996 ''Wannabe'' music video from the album ''Spice''. The video is shot in one tale following the girl band as they sing, dance, and cause havoc throughout the hotel.  What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than by showing some Girl Power!

The Conrad St James

Sally Abé’s restaurant, The Pem, at The Conrad St James is all about celebrating strong and inspiring women - in fact the name is inspired by suffragette Emily Wilding Davison. The restaurant is warm, welcoming, and full of personality, similar to that of the the women leading the venue from the front and behind the scenes. The space itself is quite simply stunning, with a private dining room for up to 24 seated, featuring plush banquette seating, and a cozy yet stylish décor filled with pink and red tones. The Pem is a gorgeous spot that puts women at the forefront - which we love!

The Marylebone Hotel

The Doyle Collection is a female-led, independent luxury Irish hotel group, and this year proudly celebrated five years of their "Headshot Initiative"; a project designed to uplift and empower women in their professional journeys. Launched to mark International Women’s Day, the initiative provides a free professional headshot to female entrepreneurs, business leaders, and professionals across Ireland, the UK, and Washington, D.C. The hotel group clearly demonstrate their commitment to International Women’s Day offering a platform for women across industries to get their professional headshot taken. The Marylebone and The Doyle Collection as a whole are redefining what it means to support and celebrate women in business, which we are completely here for. 

Wild By Tart 

What started out as a catering company between culinary experts, Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr-Ellison, the result has since blossomed into Wild By Tart—a vibrant restaurant, bar, café, and events space in the heart of Belgravia. Known for its seasonal and sustainably sourced ingredients, the venue is a true reflection of the pair's passion for great food and community. This International Women’s Day just gone, Wild By Tart hosted a truly wonderful evening event, bringing together leading women in the food industry to showcase their talent, share stories, and raise funds for a meaningful cause; Smart Works charity aim to help women succeed in the workplace by providing them with the coaching and confidence to secure employment. This venue is all about celebrating women and the power of good food, great company and growth all round.
