The Fable by Drake and Morgan London Events
Escape to a whimsical world of wonder, mystery and intrigue at The Fable, a Drake & Morgan venue in the heart of Farringdon.
Drawing inspiration from fairytales and Aesop’s fables, this venue is anything but ordinary. Desks with vintage typewriters, piles of leather-bound books surrounding table booths, bathtubs filled with flowers in the in-house wine shop and florist, and enchanted forest-style décor create a mystical venue that feels as though you’ve stepped into Aesop’s very own imagination.
The Fable is spread across three floors, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood each space with natural light. Different spaces allow for true flexibility for your event — whether you hire the whole of The Fable for a grand affair or the floor of your choice.
The team at The Fable specialises in adding personal touches to your party, wedding reception, or corporate function, including everything from handcrafted cocktails via in-house mixologists to candlelit corners and stunning floral displays or fully flexible catering that will surprise and delight your guests.
For fun, creativity, and bucket loads of imagination in the heart of London, The Fable by Drake & Morgan is an extraordinary event venue like no other.

Venue Testimonials
We just want to say that we had the most PERFECT, wonderful, seamless and enjoyable day!! We never ever expected it to go the way it went - and it's all down to you guys at The Fable. The service was just incredible and the food was so tasty (our guests would not stop talking about the food!!)
Francesca M.
The day went perfectly and was exactly what we wanted. The food was great and we have to say that the staff were brilliant- everything was so organised and it ran like clockwork. A huge number of guests told us they couldn't believe how good the venue was and how attentive the staff were, which is really great.
Gemma F.
The wedding was top! Staff lovely and quick to serve, and lovely cocktails! They know what they're doing and work hard. The food we had was really nice, I really liked the chocolate caramel tart. Excellent space for a wedding thanks to the 3 floors they have and a lovely bright space too.
