Where to begin! When we were looking at engagement party venues we instantly felt the vibes at HWK matched the energy we were looking for. From the sound system to the open courtyard, it was exactly what we were looking for. It was made all the better by our wonderful host Mike who looked after us so well along with the rest of the team! Cocktails were delicious and food was well crafted, could not recommend a better place in London to host a private event, amazing vibes and energy throughout. Thank you so much guys!

I put on a DJ night here for my music release party and it was just the most awesome night. Mike made everything feel a breeze and the atmosphere, decor, and general vibe of HWK was just perfect. There are lots of cool plants, disco balls, and lighting everywhere and it’s right next to the train station and other cool restaurants and bars etc. Everyone at my event was saying they had such a great night, and I can’t wait to return! Thank you HWK :) epic evening!
