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.

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.

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
