Lío At Cafe De Paris, Exclusive Hire

About Venue

Once known as the legendary Café de Paris, this lavish event space, which once dazzled icons like Judy Garland, Josephine Baker, Frank Sinatra, and Grace Kelly, continues to captivate and enchant every guest. With its grand sweeping staircase and iconic mezzanine balcony offering a breathtaking view of the ballroom festivities below, Café de Paris has been reborn as Lío London, marking the start of an exciting new chapter. Set to shine as one of London’s premier venues for theatre, dining, corporate, and entertainment events, the space offers unmatched versatility. Whether hosting an intimate dinner party, a glittering awards ceremony, or an exclusive listening party, Lío London’s glamorous yet flexible layout provides the perfect blank canvas for any occasion.

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.
