2 THE DON AND THE SIGN OF THE DON PRIVATE DINING ROOMS Welcome to The Don and The Sign of The Don private dining rooms the City s most charming and characterful venues for private events, be they Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Champagne and canapé parties, business meetings, corporate dinners, private celebrations or wine tastings. Wine has been an integral part of St. Swithins Lane since 1798 when the young Perthshire Scot George Sandeman took over the site as the cellar for his port, sherry and wine company, and rolled his barrels up from the Thames under the Lane to the medieval cellar. Today only 30 metres of that original medieval mault still exists and, with the help of City conservation and English Heritage, it was restored and officially opened in 2014 by the Lord Mayor of London, to be used as the cellar for the Don and The Sign of The Don s remarkable wine collection. You can taste these wines in our impressive range of unique private dining rooms featured here. Come and explore them and let a member of our highly experienced team assist you in organising your special event.
