Cufflinks buttoned? Business card primed and tastefully thick? Time to join the cognoscenti with Searcys at the Gherkin venue hire.

30 St Mary Axe, or ‘the Gherkin’ to its friends, is a towering monument to London’s status as the alpha city of the world. It is the financial centre of Europe, the business capital of the universe. The heart of culture, the home of history. In the middle of this dizzying prestige stands the Gherkin. At the very top of the Gherkin sits Searcys. And in a private dining room, regaling guests and drinking in the view, is yourself. Searcys at the Gherkin venue hire is no longer reserved for private members, and their public opening is an unmissable opportunity.

A world in the clouds

Before we go into detail about how gob-smackingly accessible this all is, for private and corporate events alike, let’s investigate at the scale of things. Searcy’s occupies the top three floors of the Gherkin. On the 38th floor, you’ll find Searcy’s state of the art private dining and business spaces. The 39th floor hosts Helix, the recently refurbished restaurant the Independent described as ‘sumptuous’. The 40th floor is home to Iris, the renowned cocktail bar crowning Searcys at the Gherkin venue hire. Each of these floors represents unique and enticing hire prospects.

The Helix restaurant is a home for exciting, thoroughly metropolitan fare. Broadly styled as contemporary British, the food takes reference from the very building’s design. The organic spiral of the Gherkin, realised in sleek glass and metal mirrors the precise plating of vibrant, natural ingredients. While the stunning food and drinks and well-priced menu are a powerful draw, there’s no better way to experience all the Helix has to offer than the private dining rooms. These spaces, named for the clouds they inhabit, allow groups of different sizes to privately enjoy memorable occasions gazing out over London.

Make any occasion memorable

Situated on the 38th floor, rooms such as the Nimbus, Cumulus, Cirrus, Stratus and Alto serve not just as ideal private dining spaces but also sky-high conferencing opportunities. We’ve been dreaming of hosting meetings, conferences, presentations, and business breakfasts there. We loved how the consummately professional team at Searcys at the Gherkin venue hire are on hand to lend some experienced assistance. All the requisite A/V facilities are available, to the same exacting standards found in the rest of the venue.

Iris is a remarkable part of the venue. Again, it provides a powerful vantage point over the city, with a true 360° view. It’s ideal to hire for breakfast meetings. Where could possibly be better to start a day bound for success? The same is true for the Helix restaurant, also available for private hire.

Not just for members

Given the distinguished reputation of these spaces, you could assume they’d be out of your reach. In the past, one had to be a Searcy’s member to get access to the show-stoppping spaces. But this is no longer. Accommodating to a variety of aims, we found the team behind Searcys at the Gherkin venue hire to be extremely amenable. In fact, hire of the private dining rooms often comes at no charge at all. Can you say fairer than that?
