Literary Events

Welcome to Ruby Stella, where unforgettable events come to life. Tucked away down a narrow London lane, our venue draws inspiration from the literary legacy of Charles Dickens. Our 24-hour bar celebrates the history of publishing with a cosy atmosphere, while our charming courtyard terrace offers a delightful setting for al fresco gatherings. Enjoy buffet-style dining and expertly mixed drinks from our curated packages.


Whether it's an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Ruby Stella offers customizable options to elevate your event. Make your occasion truly special with us.

  • A woman in a floral dress sits on a brown leather bench, smiling and holding a drink, with a small table and glowing lamp in front of her. Another person sits nearby, partially visible. The setting is dimly lit and cozy.
