Lio London, Whole Venue

Formally known as Café de Paris, the opulent event space that has played host to Judy Garland, Josephine Baker, Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, and many more never fails to leave a lasting impression on guests. With the grand sweeping staircase and the famous mezzanine balcony offering a birds eye view into the main ballroom festivities, Café de Paris gains its new era of life as Lío London and is set to continue to shine as one of the leading theatre, dining, corporate and entertainment event spaces in London. The space can be flexible in layout whilst still maintaining an intimate feel, being a glamorous blank canvas for dinner parties, awards ceremonies, listening parties, and many more.

The venue is gracefully split into two levels of grandeur: the wrap around mezzanine offers a birds eye, panoramic view of the ballroom floor below. Descend the iconic double staircase into the ballroom floor, where you will find the descending stage and moveable DJ booth. Both floors boast fully serviced bars that ensure your guests enjoy every moment to the fullest. The mezzanine lends itself perfectly to Champagne and canapé receptions with an overall standing capacity of 160. With the stage risen, the ballroom floor has a seated capacity of 156 and standing capacity of 450. Having the stage full descended, the seated capacity increases to 196 and standing to 550. The whole venue has a seated capacity of 250 and standing capacity of 700. We take pride in the venue keeping an intimate ambience, even accommodating up to 700+ guests, no one ever feels distant from the epicentre of excitement.
