Vanilla is a very chic private venue in Fitzrovia. We first came across Vanilla on the Worlds Best Bars website which describes it as “rather wonderful inside: all glimmering, glittering white with subtly shifting lighting and rippling water features.” However, although it remains on their website, Vanilla no longer operates as an open bar or restaurant but only as a venue for private hire.
The venue can be hired out for parties, performances and networking events and they offer a variety of packages. It is quite expensive, as you’d expect of a upmarket establishment in that area of Central London. A list of venue hire prices is available here. Vanilla is a really stylish, modern, minimalist spot with great drinks and dinner options.
If you are looking for somewhere to hire for an event and less able people are going to be going then Vanilla might be a good option because it sounds like the access is very good. It’s possible to get from the street to the restaurant without having to use any stairs and the disabled toilet sounds well equipped too. The sink is at wheelchair height and there is a full length mirror in the room. There’s also lots of space to move around and the floors are flat and smooth.
It’s a bit of a niche venue for us to include since it’s only available for private hire, but it is very stylish and the access is good too. We give Vanilla a provisional 2.5 BBS Ticks. We might go as far as 3 ticks once audited!
