So here are our top tips for helping you choose from the venues London has to offer:
Choosing your London party venue
It’s important that your party venue has the necessary licence in place. There is nothing worse than stopping a party in full swing, so make sure the venue has the correct permissions to go as late as you need to – as well as including time to clear the space of any theming or production equipment that you have brought in.
While we’re discussing restrictions, some party venues in London can have strict sound restrictions, especially outdoor venues. If you are looking for a real party atmosphere, especially if you’re hosting a live band or loud music, you’ll need to ensure your venue has the appropriate permissions in place before you sign on the dotted line.
Location is, of course, key when it comes to maximising attendance. We advise choosing a venue that has good transport links close by. This will ensure that your guests stay late and feel able to get home safely.
Just as important as location, venue size can make or break a party. Too big and you will never create a great party atmosphere, however hard you try. Too small and you may not be able to let all your guests in or get them a drink or food swiftly.
Many of the most unusual party venues in London have a strict list of caterers who can work in any one venue. If you have your heart set on one in particular, it’s definitely worth checking that your venue can accommodate your request.

Your venue for a London party – things to consider
Once you’ve found the right venue for your London party, there are a few vital touches to consider to make sure your party goes smoothly. Here are some of our top tips:
Don't book until you know all the costs
With so many different elements involved in planning a great party, it’s important ensure that you have budgeted for all the extras you may need.
Different venues include different elements. Some of London’s more unique venues, for example, often require more additional extras, such as power or security to be factored in on top of the basic venue hire.
When hiring a London party venue, check to see what suppliers you will be required to use. It is great to use caterers and production companies that know the space well and can help you with design and costings, however you need to ensure that you have budgeted for each element to avoid disappointment.
Cloakrooms
This may seem strange to hear but the cloakroom can make or break an event, as it is usually the first thing that a guest uses and the last. Ensure there are enough staff and enough space for an efficient cloakroom. Most venues in London who regularly cater for parties know the pitfalls here, but the more unusual venues may not have the right set up.
The music
The right DJ or band will make a great a party. If it’s a DJ, agree the playlist and genres you want played before you book. If it’s a band, don’t rely on demo tapes or YouTube since these can be edited, and band members may have changed. Arrange to see them live or, if you can’t, get recent good references from friends or colleagues who have. Again, you can agree the playlist and playing times before you book your band to ensure that they will be the perfect fit for your London party.
Book early
As with all venue-hire in London, great venues’ diaries fill up fast so once you’ve found the venue that’s perfect for your party, we recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
