If your 30th is approaching, it's the perfect excuse for having a big old birthday bash in our books! To help you celebrate this landmark occasion, we’ve made things easier with our list of top venues to celebrate your 30th birthday. From rooftop bars, ping pong and karaoke, to fancy drinks and luxurious dining, Hire Space has venues for all tastes - here's a whirlwind tour of our favourites!
1. The Little Scarlet Door
If your own flat's leaning on the shabby side of "shabby-chic", it might be an idea to upgrade for the night - and you've come to the right place! The Little Scarlet Door in Soho is like stepping into the coolest house party you've ever been to—until now.
This venue takes the concept of a New York loft and gives it a distinctly British twist, complete with homely quirks that make for a warm and inviting party atmosphere. Spread over two floors, you've got the open-plan living room and kitchen on one level, and the Basement Studio, complete with a long bar, vault, and a games area featuring a Nintendo 64 for a hit of nostalgia. It's the perfect spot for a 30th birthday party that's both sophisticated and playfully retro (suitably far removed from your own outdated furniture!).
Location: Soho
Capacity: 243 reception
2. Bounce Farringdon
Bounce Farringdon takes the prize - or should we say, the paddle - for an unconventional 30th birthday party venue. With its vibrant atmosphere, the Jaques Room is a playground for adults, offering not just ping pong tables but also a state-of-the-art karaoke system for those who want to sing their hearts out - and who doesn't want to belt out the tunes on their birthday?! It's a place where you can unleash your inner child (30 going on 13?) and create memories that are as lively as your ping pong competition is fierce!
Location: Farringdon
Capacity: 120 standing
3. Lio London
If you're the type who likes your birthday bash with a side of spectacle, Lío London is where you need to be. This place is not just a venue—it's a whole vibe. Imagine celebrating your 30th in a venue that feels like a cabaret, a circus, and a nightclub all rolled into one. Expect jaw-dropping performances and more glitter than you thought possible outside of a Mardi Gras parade. Plus, the food is so good it might make you rethink every meal you've had up until this point. At Lío, your 30th will be the kind of legendary night you'll be talking about until you're 40 (and maybe longer).
Location: Piccadilly Circus
Capacity: 400 people
4. The Oyster Shed
For those who believe that life should be celebrated with a stunning view and a glass of something bubbly, The Oyster Shed is calling your name. Nestled right on the Thames, this venue offers breathtaking river views that might just steal the spotlight from your birthday cake (but only for a second). The vibe here is relaxed yet polished, making it perfect for a gathering that’s equal parts chill and chic. You’re turning 30—time to get fancy, right?
Location: Cannon Street
Capacity: 350 people
5. Greenwich Yacht Club
For a birthday bash that screams "I’m 30 and I’ve got my life together," the Greenwich Yacht Club is your go-to. This isn’t your average party venue; it’s a stylish, waterfront escape where you can live out your nautical dreams. Whether you arrive by boat or just pretend you did, the vibe here is all about sophistication with a splash of adventure. The panoramic views of the river and city skyline make it easy to forget you’re still in London. Plus, nothing says "I’ve made it" like a yacht club party, so go ahead and sail into your 30s in style.
Location: Greenwich
Capacity: 250 people
6. Trafalgar St James
The Trafalgar St. James is for those who want their 30th to feel like a night of understated luxury—think more James Bond than an Instagram influencer. Situated right in the heart of London, this rooftop venue offers sweeping views of the city’s iconic skyline, making it the perfect backdrop for a birthday that’s all about the finer things in life. With plush interiors and a cocktail list that’s as sophisticated as your guest list, this is where you go to sip, socialise, and celebrate your way into the next decade. Just be careful: one too many martinis and you might end up feeling like you own the place.
Location: Charing Cross
Capacity: 180 people
