Function Room Hire, The Owl & Hitchhiker
Tucked away above The Owl and Hitchhiker on Holloway Road lies one of North London’s most distinctive private hire spaces a first-floor function room that combines old world elegance with eccentric, storybook charm.
Whether you're organising a wedding reception, birthday celebration, private dinner, or corporate event, this character-filled space offers a warm, inviting setting with plenty of personality. Think rich wooden floors, soft lighting, original fireplaces, and antique furnishings – all offset by playful touches inspired by the imaginative legacies of Douglas Adams and Edward Lear.
The adjoining parlour adds even more flexibility, ideal for breakout chats, pre-dinner drinks, or creating a more intimate lounge atmosphere. A fully stocked bar serves up craft beers from some of London’s best-loved breweries, a thoughtful wine list, and expertly crafted cocktails tailored to your occasion.
Perfect for those who want something a little offbeat without compromising on style, our function room blends literary quirk with timeless sophistication, a space that’s as photogenic as it is practical.
