/ About
South Place Hotel is a five-star design hotel a short walk from Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations, on the corner of South Place in the City. It opened in the summer of 2012 as the first hotel from restaurateurs D&D London — the group renamed itself the Evolv Collection in 2025 — and was designed throughout by Conran and Partners, one of relatively few purpose-built hotels raised in the Square Mile in the past century.
Five private dining and meeting rooms sit on the first floor. Purdey & Steed are a pair of interconnecting rooms behind floor-to-ceiling windows that can run the length of the floor for up to 200 standing; Le Chiffre is a speakeasy-style bar that opens through to Solo and its billiards table; and Peel and Kuryakin are dressed respectively in silver birch panelling and red lacquer, both named after characters from 1960s spy television. A retractable-roofed courtyard, the Secret Garden, adds a planted outdoor option on the same floor.
The top floor holds Angler, the hotel's Michelin-starred seafood restaurant, with its own rooftop terrace over the City skyline. The ground floor is home to Bluebird City, the Chelsea restaurant's City outpost, serving all-day dining and cocktails from its own marble bar.
/ Rooms Available
Angler
Exclusive HireThe hotel's own Michelin-starred restaurant, on the top floor with its rooftop terrace attached. Taken as an exclusive hire, the dining room seats guests at round tables beneath a faceted metal ceiling, with the City skyline through angled glass on both sides.
Purdey & Steed
PrivateNamed after John Steed and his partner Purdey from The New Avengers, these two interconnecting first-floor rooms run behind floor-to-ceiling windows. Hired individually or combined into one continuous space, they take a boardroom lunch as easily as a long private dinner or a standing reception across the whole floor.

Kuryakin
PrivateKnown internally as the Red Room for its lacquered red table and chairs, set beneath a ring of exposed bulbs. Named after Illya Kuryakin, sidekick to the room next door's namesake, and used for meetings by day and private dinners by night.
Solo
PrivateThe smallest of the hotel's private rooms, built around a table that flips into a full-size billiards table. Named after Napoleon Solo, the original Man from U.N.C.L.E., and set within dark wood panelling and herringbone flooring.
