The Sterling
About this venue
The Sterling is a restaurant-bar that pairs classic pub-style British cooking with a polished, contemporary semi-circular dining room and bar.
Venue highlights:
An in-house events team coordinates private hires and manages planning and on-the-night service for larger or more complex bookings.
The kitchen provides classic pub dishes alongside extensive vegan and gluten-free menus and offers sit-down or buffet catering.
A full bar serves beers, wines and cocktails, and the venue includes outdoor seating and step-free access via lift.
Best for: Corporate Christmas lunches; company dinners and winter balls; drinks-led receptions and after-work gatherings.
Location: 30 St Mary Axe in the City of London. The setting sits among major office buildings and an evening dining scene, which suits corporate guest lists and makes post-event drinks convenient.
