The Newman Arms

Looking for a one-of-a-kind venue in the heart of London? The Newman Arms offers exclusive hire of the entire pub, blending rich heritage, indulgent food, and characterful spaces across two floors. Established in 1730, this Fitzrovia institution has lived many lives. Most notably, a Brothel, a blacksmith, a candle maker, and even the inspiration for George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Today, it’s a vibrant, atmospheric pub known for pouring perfect pints, serving legendary pies (including the iconic Fisherman’s Pie), and offering a warm, unpretentious welcome. The ground floor buzzes with pub charm: a proper bar, wooden floors, and a selection of drinks including Murphy’s Irish Stout and our signature Black Velvet (a mix of stout and cremant, served in a tankard). Upstairs, the infamous Pie Room offers a more intimate dining or event experience, making it the ideal space for seated meals, speeches, or simply soaking in the candlelit ambience. The venue can cater for groups from 15-150, with private areas and whole venue hire available.
