Here are a few key considerations and our top tips that will help you when searching for venues to hire in London for your next event:

Location

When considering London venue hire for events, ensuring that the location of the chosen venue is right for the attendees will have a big impact on attendance levels. Make sure that the venue is as close as possible to the main stations and transport links (including Heathrow and London City airports for inbound events). Being close to stations is especially important for events which finish late at night, so that guests can travel home swiftly and safely.. Remember, when looking for the best venue for hire, London has an excellent transport network, so make sure you use it to your advantage.

Venue capacity

When looking for a venue for exclusive hire, London has a vast range of options, large and small, so make sure that the size of the venue is suitable for your event. As a general rule, finding a venue that has about 25% headroom for you chosen seating style, will ensure that you have spare capacity to take additional guests if required and also avoid losing atmosphere by only half filling an event space.

London Venue styles

Those looking for venues to hire in London are spoilt for choice in terms of the range of styles; from Historic banqueting venues to cool contemporary spaces. With so many to choose from, make sure that you select a venue that’s look and feel reflects and enhances your chosen theme and/or key messaging as this will attract the right profile of guests. This is especially important with product launches and other brand related events and with delivering a chosen theme or decorative design.

Event Price

When planning any event, having a clear budget before researching the London venue hire market will save you a great deal of time in the planning process. Prices vary hugely by venue, dependent on their location, popularity and date.

Best value when searching for venues in London to hire is normally achieved by getting detailed quotations for at least three venues and then negotiating with all three to get the best price. Discounts can often be best achieved by choosing less popular dates (i.e. Mondays) or months (i.e. August) if that will not affect the attendance levels of your event.
