Frequently Asked Questions: Christmas Parties in London - Shared & Exclusive Parties London 2026

1

How far in advance should I book a Christmas party in London?

The capital is undoubtedly the most competitive Christmas party market in the UK, with the top venues being reserved very quickly. Here, the venues of iconic stature and large production facilities such as Olympia London and the Brewery are often fully booked by the summer. A general rule of thumb is to secure your venue as soon as the specific date or venue becomes important. For smaller venues such as hotel ballrooms, it would be best to book by September. Some venues may, however, have availability even later than that.

2

What types of Christmas party venue are available?

The nation’s capital offers some of the widest range of event venues in the UK, which allows us to cater to the most varied tastes in atmosphere and design. We have luxury hotel ballrooms in Mayfair and Kensington, rooftop terraces in the City and Canary Wharf, historic industrial buildings in Bermondsey, converted railway arches in the City, event spaces in sports stadiums, and dedicated event production venues such as Olympia London.

3

How much does a Christmas party in London cost per person?

Party venues in the capital tend to have slightly higher pricing, but still, the difference between different levels of venues is significant enough to choose between. Shared joiner nights at our carefully selected hotels cost around £55-£75 per person inclusive of a three-course dinner and entertainment. Exclusively booked mid-level City and Southwark venues start at around £85-£120. Our all-inclusive packages at our premium venues cost about £110-£145 per head. The price of bespoke productions depends on each case individually and will be quoted upon request.

What areas of London are best for a Christmas party venue?

As mentioned above, this depends on where your guests are located. The Central region venues are ideal if you have guests arriving from outside of the region, providing access to the largest number of train and tube stations. Southbank and Southwark are great options if your guests are interested in having some of the river views. Shoreditch is ideal if you want something less commercial and more alternative, whilst Canary Wharf works great if your audience consists of financial sector clients. Guests who are travelling to London from outside the city would benefit from venues in the capital’s hubs of Paddington, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, and Victoria.

5

Is the Nation’s Capital a good choice for a Christmas party if guests are travelling from outside the city?

If anyone were to ask, it would definitely be the best destination for the Christmas celebrations. Not only is the capital accessible by six international airports, but the rail network connects the city to every corner of the UK and several key cities in Europe. In just about 2 hours from London, you can reach Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Leeds, and other major UK cities. The region is also connected by Eurostar to major French and Belgian cities.

6

Can I book a Christmas party in the region for a small group?

Absolutely. Despite London boasting some of the largest event venues in the UK, it also offers several options to suit small group sizes. In the case of shared nights, you can invite a party of 4-5 to book a table. Private dining rooms can accommodate parties from a minimum of 10 guests. For those who would like to host their event on the water, party boats from Party Boats can accommodate any group from just one person upwards.

7

What Christmas party themes are available?

Due to the capital's position as the event production centre of the UK, we have plenty of themed events on offer, with many others to come in the run-up to Christmas. Among our currently advertised options are a candy cane production party in a London venue for 1000 people, all-inclusive festive themed events at our landmark hotels, and a Christmas party cruise on the River Thames. Additionally, our bespoke event service allows for creating any themed event you wish, from classic Black Tie winter galas to branded company-themed parties. The entertainment and production possibilities in the region are truly endless.

8

Do London Christmas party venues offer accommodation for guests?

The majority of hotel-based venues we offer provide accommodation to their guests. London also offers one of the most diverse accommodation ranges in the UK, allowing for securing rooms in a hotel of any class at a reasonable cost. In addition, we can help with booking hotel rooms at the venues we offer or elsewhere in the area.

Shared Parties in London

One of the advantages of a shared Christmas party venue night in London is that you turn up and find everything has already been done for you. Booking your tables in advance secures you a place amongst hundreds of other guests, ready for a night filled with live entertainment, festive food, and drink.

The quality of the region’s shared Christmas venues is exceptional. At the high-end, events taking place in prestigious spaces such as Olympia London or the Park Plaza Victoria combine production-scale entertainment and production with three-course dinners and a dance floor that goes on for hours. Alternatively, joiner nights at the best hotel venues will give you a much more intimate experience without losing the celebratory nature of the night.

Shared nights are also ideal for groups travelling from other cities to celebrate Christmas in the area. Venues close to major rail stations mean that visitors to the capital can travel directly from Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh for an effortless celebration that they return home afterwards.

Of course, the cost per person at shared nights is naturally lower than exclusives, making them the best solution for companies looking for a memorable night out on a budget.
