The festive season is knocking on the door, and if you’ve left your Christmas party planning to the eleventh hour, don’t panic—we’ve got you covered! Whether you're aiming for glitz and glamour, cosy and intimate, or quirky and cool, these five last-minute venues in London will save your festive bash from disaster. Let’s unwrap the perfect places for your unforgettable Christmas celebration!
Century Club
Perched high above the Soho buzz, Century Club's rooftop terrace—with its retractable glass roof—is your secret weapon for hosting a Christmas party that embraces the best of both worlds. Indoors, outdoors? Who cares, when you’ve got the option to do both in one magical night?! Come for the stylish décor, stay for the wow-factor views, and let your guests dance under the stars—or the ceiling, depending on how festive the weather feels!
Location: Leicester Square
Capacity: 200 reception
One Birdcage Walk
For those who want their Christmas parties to come with a side of Victorian charm, One Birdcage Walk is ready to deliver. This is where elegance meets engineering, literally—it’s the home of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. With its marble hall and adjoining gallery, it’s the kind of venue that’ll have your guests feeling fancy before they even touch their first glass of mulled wine. If you’re looking for a space that’s more “stately home” than a “standard venue,” this is the one.
Location: Westminster Station
Capacity: 210 buffet
The Ministry
The Ministry isn’t just any old Christmas party venue—it’s a quirky, creative playground for those who want their festivities with a side of cool. Once a Victorian printwork, it’s now a stylish space where exposed brickwork and luxe finishes come together to form a backdrop that’s both industrial and intimate. Gather your squad, grab a cocktail, and prepare for a night that feels more like an exclusive private club than a typical end-of-year bash.
Location: Borough
Capacity: 200 people
The Conduit
Need a Christmas party that screams exclusive? The Conduit is your place. This venue is perfect for the kind of party where networking and nibbling go hand-in-hand. Its intimate meeting spaces are ideal for smaller, more personal gatherings, where festive cheer can flow freely—along with some excellent cocktails, of course.
Location: Covent Garden
Capacity: 30 standing
116 Pall Mall
Christmas at 116 Pall Mall is like stepping into a scene from a holiday movie, complete with jaw-dropping chandeliers, elegant staircases, and that feeling that you should probably be wearing something velvet. This is the party venue for those who want to go big—no half-hearted tinsel here. If you’re looking to impress with a venue that practically oozes opulence, your last-minute search ends here.
Location: Piccadilly Circus
Capacity: 350 reception
Who says last-minute can’t be legendary? These five venues are the perfect recipe for a Christmas party to remember—no matter how close the clock is ticking.
