Created in collaboration with partners including caterer Table Talk, florist Pinstripes & Peonies, lighting effects company Wise Productions, Prelude and Sternberg Clarke, representatives from banks, law firms and creative industries were welcomed into the Crypt at St Paul’s.

Guests enjoyed a selection of Table Talk’s canapés, which launched its spring summer menu at the event. Dishes included an innovative edible garden served by waitresses dressed as butterflies, with a range of vegetable canapés on a bed of edible soil with ingredients including cream cheese.
