Opening: 1st October 2026

Victoria

Market Place is bringing its food hall concept to Victoria Station this October, with a collection of food and drink vendors under one roof.

Christmas parties with a view

Why settle for a standard party venue when you can give your guests an incredible backdrop too? Rooftops, riverside settings and skyline views are an easy way to make a Christmas celebration feel extra special, while giving guests plenty to enjoy before the party even gets started.

1864 Rooftop Igloos

For a Christmas party with a difference, head up to 1864’s rooftop igloos on Oxford Street. Cosy, festive and surrounded by views across central London, the private igloos offer a more intimate setting for festive drinks, dining and celebrations. It’s a great option for smaller teams looking to combine the atmosphere of a rooftop party with the warmth and cosiness of a winter escape.

Aviary

Set high above Finsbury Square, Aviary brings together panoramic London views, stylish interiors and a lively atmosphere. Its rooftop setting makes it a memorable choice for a Christmas celebration, whether you’re planning drinks and canapés or a larger festive event. With the City skyline as your backdrop, it’s a great option for teams looking for something polished but still full of energy.

Coppa Club London Bridge

New to London Bridge, Coppa Club’s latest opening brings its relaxed, stylish atmosphere to one of the city’s most recognisable locations. With the Thames and Tower Bridge on the doorstep, it offers a scenic setting for festive dining and drinks. Its combination of comfortable interiors, great food and an unbeatable location makes it one to keep in mind for Christmas 2026.

Immersive Christmas experiences

The Christmas party is becoming an experience in itself, with teams choosing interactive entertainment and themed events over a traditional sit-down dinner. From immersive performances to games and live entertainment, these venues give guests something to get involved in throughout the evening.

Humbug: Santa’s Christmas Dive Bar

Forget the traditional Christmas party and step into Santa’s dive bar instead. Humbug combines immersive entertainment, festive cocktails, live performances and plenty of unexpected twists for a Christmas celebration that feels more like an experience than a standard night out. It’s ideal for teams looking for something playful, theatrical and guaranteed to give guests plenty to talk about afterwards.

Hijingo

Take your Christmas party to the next level at Hijingo, where traditional bingo gets a high-energy makeover. Expect immersive visuals, music, cocktails and plenty of competition as teams battle it out for the win. With its lively atmosphere and interactive format, it’s a fun option for groups who want to spend less time sitting around a dinner table and more time getting involved.

58th Street

Step back into the glamour of 1950s New York at Belle Livingstone’s 58th Street Country Club. Inspired by the golden age of jazz, the venue combines live music, cocktails and an intimate atmosphere for a Christmas celebration with plenty of character. It’s a great choice for smaller groups looking for something stylish, entertaining and a little different from the usual festive party.

Après-ski without leaving London

You don’t need to head to the Alps to enjoy an après-ski-inspired Christmas party. Alpine-themed venues are bringing log cabins, warming drinks, winter décor and plenty of festive atmosphere to London, making them perfect for teams who want to embrace the season.

Setlist

Located on the riverside at Somerset House, Setlist combines food, music and festive celebrations in a stylish setting. For Christmas, groups can enjoy a festive dinner or drinks reception, with the option to add a skating experience at Somerset House’s famous ice rink. It’s a great way to turn your Christmas party into a full festive day out.

The Montague on the Gardens

The Montague’s Ski Lodge returns for 2026, transforming the hotel into a cosy alpine escape in the heart of Bloomsbury. Think pine trees, falling snow, twinkling lights, warming drinks and plenty of festive charm. Available for exclusive hire, it’s a great option for groups wanting the full après-ski experience without leaving central London.

Bubba Oasis

For something a little more colourful, Bubba Oasis brings a playful tropical twist to the winter season. Its vibrant setting and relaxed atmosphere make it a fun alternative to more traditional Christmas venues, particularly for teams looking for a party that feels informal, energetic and full of personality.

Christmas parties with a twist

Not every Christmas celebration needs to follow the same format. From live music and bowling to an evening at a working brewery, these venues put their own spin on the traditional Christmas party, giving teams plenty to do alongside the food and drinks.

The Piano Works

At The Piano Works, live music is at the heart of the party. The venue’s bands take requests and play everything from favourite classics to festive hits, creating an atmosphere that naturally moves from dinner and drinks to dancing. With flexible packages for different group sizes, it’s a great choice for teams who want the entertainment to be part of the evening from the start.

All Star Lanes

Swap the dancefloor for the bowling lanes at All Star Lanes. Combining bowling, food, drinks and plenty of friendly competition, it offers a more relaxed alternative to a traditional Christmas dinner. It’s particularly well suited to teams who want their celebration to be interactive, with the opportunity to split into teams and make a little competition part of the evening.

Guinness Open Gate Brewery

For beer lovers, Christmas at Guinness Open Gate Brewery offers something a little different. Based in Covent Garden, the brewery combines private event spaces with food, drinks and the opportunity to explore the world of Guinness through its immersive brewery experiences. Festive options include tours, dining and private parties, making it an ideal choice for a celebration with plenty to discover.

The luxury Christmas dinner

For some teams, you simply can’t beat a beautifully presented Christmas dinner in an exceptional setting. London is home to some of the most iconic hotels, offering elegant dining, impeccable service and spaces that make even the most traditional Christmas celebration feel special.

The Londoner

Right in the heart of Leicester Square, The Londoner offers a sophisticated setting for Christmas celebrations of all sizes. From intimate private dining to larger festive events, the hotel has a range of spaces to suit different occasions, with elegant interiors, exceptional food and plenty of options for creating a memorable evening. It’s a classic choice for a Christmas party with a luxury feel.

The Savoy

Few London hotels are as synonymous with timeless glamour as The Savoy. Set on the Strand, this iconic hotel offers an elegant backdrop for festive dinners, drinks and celebrations, with its distinctive Art Deco interiors and legendary hospitality. For teams looking to make their Christmas party feel like a real occasion, The Savoy brings plenty of history, character and festive sophistication.

The Beaumont

Tucked away in Mayfair, The Beaumont offers a more intimate take on the luxury Christmas party. Its elegant Art Deco-inspired interiors, refined dining and central location make it ideal for smaller celebrations, client entertaining or teams looking for something understated but special. It’s a setting where the focus can be on exceptional food, good company and a beautifully considered atmosphere.

An escape out of the city

Sometimes the best way to celebrate is to leave London behind altogether. Country estates, private retreats and luxury hotels offer the chance to turn a Christmas party into a full experience, with space to enjoy the countryside, great food and plenty of time together.

Wilderness Reserve

For a Christmas celebration that feels like a true escape, Wilderness Reserve offers private countryside estates surrounded by nature. With beautifully designed accommodation, private spaces and the opportunity to stay overnight, it’s perfect for teams wanting to make more of their Christmas celebration. Think a festive dinner, drinks by the fire and a countryside setting far removed from the usual office party.

Coworth Park

Set in the Berkshire countryside, Coworth Park combines a beautiful country-house setting with five-star hospitality. Just a short journey from London, it offers a more relaxed alternative to a city celebration, with elegant dining spaces, luxurious accommodation and plenty of countryside to explore. It’s a great choice for teams wanting to make their Christmas party feel like a proper getaway.

Crafted at Powdermills

Set in a wooded valley in Battle, East Sussex, Crafted at Powdermills is a countryside retreat centred around a seven-acre lake and 78 acres of ancient woodland. Around 70 minutes from London by direct train, it’s an ideal setting for a Christmas celebration that feels like a proper escape. With seasonal dining, cosy spaces, accommodation and plenty of opportunities to explore the grounds, it’s perfect for teams looking to make a whole trip of their Christmas party.

Big, bold Christmas celebrations

When a small gathering simply won’t do, London has plenty of impressive spaces designed for large-scale celebrations. Think expansive event spaces, big productions, live entertainment and plenty of room to get everyone together for a proper end-of-year celebration.

The Steel Yard

We know The Steel Yard well, having recently hosted our own Winter Fair at the venue. Set beneath the arches of London’s historic railway infrastructure, its industrial interiors provide a dramatic backdrop for large-scale Christmas parties. With plenty of space for dining, entertainment and dancing, it’s a brilliant choice for companies looking to go all out this festive season.

Evolution London

Located in Battersea Park, Evolution London is made for large-scale celebrations. Its expansive, flexible event space can be transformed to suit everything from themed parties and live entertainment to impressive corporate celebrations. With the scale to accommodate large guest lists and plenty of room for production, it’s a venue for companies that want their Christmas party to make an impact.

One Marylebone

Set within a beautiful Grade I listed building overlooking Regent’s Park, One Marylebone combines historic architecture with a versatile event space.
