Our Venue
Shaped like a horse shoe, the bar is separated into three distinct but adjoining area, offering
2500sqft of lateral space.
We understand that there has been a Samuel Pepys pub on this site for over a century. However, the
current venue was converted from a Victorian warehouse in the late nineties, retaining the bare
brick walls and many character features throughout. Contemporary English artwork by Sir Peter
Blake, Mark Hayward and others, together with modern decor provided by Timorous Beasties, set
off a fashionable loft feel.
Main Bar
Once you have travelled up the spiral staircase you are welcomed into the main bar area.
High tables and chairs along with plenty of bar chairs allow the guests to feel the full atmosphere of
The Samuel Pepys along with watching our cocktail bartenders mix up the perfect drink.

Globe View
Walk though the main bar area and you reach Globe View offering panoramic views of The Thames
and iconic buildings through floor to ceiling windows. Soft seating provides a comfortable way to sit
and watch the celebrations.

The Balcony Bar
We are exceptionally proud of our balcony bar. Spectacular views of The Thames and the Globe
Theatre, best enjoyed from the balcony.

Hire Charge
The Samuel Pepys will rarely charge a hire charge instead we set a minimum spend that must be
redeemed against food and drink. This minimum spend will be dependent on the date and time of
the function.

Payments
We would require an initial deposit of 200 to secure the date. Payment for catering options must
be paid for in advance, a minimum of one month prior to the date.
Any remaining balance must be paid in full at the end of the evening.

Service Charge
We aim to deliver exceptional standards of service regardless of budget. All bookings will be subject
to a flat rate 150 service charge, not a % of the final bill.

Door Security
The door to the venue will remain open throughout your reception, it is highly unlikely that any
member of the public would chose to enter the premises, however, for additional piece of mind,
door security can be arranged for an additional charge. This is through a separate company.
Where no security is requested, signs will be displayed stating that The Samuel Pepys is closed for a
private engagement.

Opening Times
Access to the venue will be arranged according to the time of your wedding ceremony.
The venue is open until 23:00 with guests asked to leave by 23:30.
A later licence is available for an additional charge.
