275 Standing / Reception
Century-old postal tunnels transformed into party magic, that's what we offer here at The Postal Museum's Mail Rail. Your guests descend into Clerkenwell's underground where exposed brickwork curves overhead in dramatic vaulted ceilings, original railway tracks still visible beneath their feet. We've kept the industrial heritage alive while adding dynamic lighting that shifts from deep blues to vibrant purples, creating whatever mood your celebration demands. Our subterranean space welcomes 275 guests for standing receptions, or we can arrange seating for 150 if you're planning a dinner party. Corporate celebrations, milestone birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, product launches, fashion shows, we've hosted them all in these tunnels that once carried millions of letters beneath London's streets. The real conversation starter? Your guests can actually ride our miniature trains through the historic postal railway for 15 minutes, the same routes that operated in secret for decades. Russell Square Station sits just moments away, with multiple transport links making arrival simple for guests coming from across the city. We've installed a full PA system and projectors throughout the space, while our in-house catering team creates menus tailored to your event. Our alcohol license runs until midnight, perfect for those celebrations that deserve to run late. The preserved railway elements aren't just decoration, they're part of the story we help you tell. Air conditioning keeps the underground space comfortable year-round, while full wheelchair accessibility ensures everyone can join the party. Our events team works with you to customize every detail, from lighting sequences to curator-led tours that add historical context to your gathering. Storage space, complimentary Wi-Fi, all the practical elements are covered, leaving you free to focus on creating memories in London's most extraordinary underground party venue.
