The Leopard Bar at The Rubens at the Palace

The Leopard Bar at The Rubens at the Palace is an intimate private-hire venue in London Victoria, opposite the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. Its distinctive leopard-inspired decor and hotel setting make it a characterful choice for organisers seeking a private space for a smaller gathering.

The bar can host up to 40 guests standing or 29 seated. It is available for occasions including drinks receptions, afternoon tea, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, engagement parties, private meetings and corporate functions. Organisers can enquire about exclusive use, with the space available for private hire from 9am to 11.30pm. Breakfast events are also offered, with private use of the bar and a menu featuring hot drinks, juices, seasonal fruit, pastries and a choice of breakfast dish.

Food and drink are part of the venue experience. The hotel team can discuss event menus and arrangements, and the bar's drinks offering includes cocktails, champagne and other refreshments. A permanent stage provides the option of live music, subject to event arrangements.

Located on Buckingham Palace Road, the venue is a short walk from Victoria Station, making it convenient for guests travelling across London. As part of The Rubens at the Palace, it benefits from the hotel's hospitality and event-planning team. Event organisers can contact the hotel to discuss availability, menus and the details of a private booking.
