Located within the National Theatre on London’s iconic South Bank, Lasdun offers a striking setting for intimate private dinners, large-scale celebrations and everything in between.
Flexible spaces for every occasion
Lasdun can be hired exclusively for up to 100 guests seated or 200 standing, making it an ideal choice for company parties, award ceremonies, or private celebrations that call for a showstopping backdrop. For slightly smaller gatherings, the restaurant also offers semi-exclusive hire for up to 50 guests, as well as a welcoming option for large group bookings.
For the most intimate occasions, Lasdun’s private dining room seats up to 12 guests – perfect for board dinners, client entertaining, or special family celebrations where discretion and detail matter.
Lasdun has a menu to impress
Delight in modern British food that celebrates the best of seasonal produce, with menus designed by Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram, of the Marksman pub in Hackney. Event menus are flexible and can be tailored to the occasion, from canapés and bowl food for a lively standing reception, to three-course dining or indulgent feasting menus for a more formal affair. The culinary team works closely with organisers to ensure every detail is just right, from flavour profiles to dietary requirements.
A curated wine list complements the food beautifully, featuring both classic vintages and exciting new discoveries. Whether it’s a Champagne welcome, a fine Burgundy to accompany the main course, or an English sparkling for a celebratory toast, the selection is designed to impress.
Designed for atmosphere
Whether you choose a seated dinner or a vibrant standing event, Lasdun provides not just a beautiful space but also the practical elements that make an event run smoothly. A sound system and PA are available for speeches, presentations or background music, ensuring the mood is just right from welcome drinks to the final toast.
