About This Pub
Ah, The Depot – it's one of those places that really sticks in your mind after a visit. I've got to say, from what I've seen in the reviews, it's an absolute winner for anyone planning a wedding or a special do; the staff are incredibly attentive and make everything run like clockwork, which is just what you want when you're celebrating. The food stands out too – people are going on about the steaks being the best they've ever had, and that says a lot in a city full of great eateries. Pair that with a solid range of craft beers and a cosy, character-filled space that lets in loads of natural light, and you've got yourself a proper inviting spot for a catch-up with pals. On the flip side, though, it's only open five days a week, so if you're fancying a pint on a quiet Sunday, you might be out of luck. It does lean heavily towards events rather than your typical pub crawl, and while the prices are fair, they can mount up for a full evening. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after something with a bit more polish, but keep in mind it might not be the go-to for a laid-back, everyday pint – still, I'd recommend giving it a go for the good vibes and that eco-friendly ethos they've got going on.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
-
It only opens five days a week, which might cramp your plans if you're hoping for a spontaneous Sunday session.
-
While it's brilliant for weddings and events, it seems a bit more focused on those occasions rather than everyday pub vibes, so it might not feel as lively for a quick drink.
-
With a moderate price level, things can add up if you're planning a big night out, especially for food and drinks.
-
The overall rating is a solid 4.3, but that suggests not every visit is perfect, even if the recent reviews are glowing – you might run into the odd off day.

THE BEST WEDDING VENUE IN LONDON.
We had the most incredible day at the Depot. Us and our guests were completely in awe of the quality of service and attentiveness. Every guest was incredibly impressed by the food - some saying its the best Steak they have ever tasted.
Everyone at the Depot was so friendly, from chefs to bar staff and it really made our day. All the incredible staff made our day seamless and a particular thank-you to Shannon, Imogen and Magda who made each step of planning so easy and enjoyable, all the way up to the day and even post-wedding. The first photo is the bride realising how the amazing staff had arranged everything so beautifully without any need for our input - the staff are true professionals.
Everything was perfect and we would recommend this venue to anyone getting married in London.
We had our wedding here at the beginning of February 2025 and had the absolute best time. The team supported us all through the planning process and were extremely helpful with all of their guidance. The process of organising everything was really smooth and we loved having some flexibility with the menu. On the day they set up everything beautifully and attended to everyone's needs. All of our guests were so complimentary of the food and left very well fed. We could not recommend them more as a wedding venue!
The staff were really professional and lovely, offered quality service even to people who were not guests to the wedding but the photographer like myself. The food came out at the right time without delays, and tasted wonderful as well. The dance floor was cleared efficiently too! The decorations and the ambience was perfect, even in winter.
Photographing a wedding at The Depot was a truly remarkable experience. This venue’s blend of contemporary and rustic-industrial charm creates an incredible backdrop for a wedding celebration. The tall ceilings, expansive windows, and exposed brick walls bathe the space in natural light, making it a dream for capturing candid and posed moments. The earthy tones and unique architectural details provide a versatile canvas, perfect for couples looking to infuse their personalities into their décor.
