The Grubstreet Author To Become The City Of London’S Newest Events Venue

A new events venue is coming to London, The Grubstreet Author on Milton Street in the heart of Moorgate, is a collection of three luxuriously designed spaces, operated by the team behind The Brewery.

Occupying a previously forgotten and derelict part of the original Whitbread Brewery, will be a modern events venue for up to 70 guests, and perfectly suited for meetings, private dinners or product launches.

With a private entrance on Milton Street, previously known as Grub Street, the venue takes its name from the bohemian area best known for publishing houses, poets and ‘hack writers’ during the 18th Century. The venue has been given new purpose with a contemporary design approach, featuring: 

• The Cutting Room; a cinema auditorium for 48 people. Restored to its former glory and enhanced with the latest AV, signature lighting and tiered red velvet cinema seating creates a quirky and elegant setting. 

• The Sample Room; the former beer sampling area of the original brewery is a contemporary reception area for up to 70. A metallic bar with glowing neon quill, bold herringbone floor and luxurious furnishings will become a feature for cocktail receptions and networking. 

• The Pasteur Room (pictured); named after the original room in The Brewery for beer fermenting, the stunning tiled roof and burnt iron chandelier is designed for private dining for up to 70. The Pasteur Room can be used in conjunction with The Sample Room to create a separate reception space to host larger standing events.
