The West End has a reputation for being one of the most exclusive and sought-after areas in all of London, and so it comes as no surprise that it’s a hotbed of great events during the festive season. So, if you want to make sure you snap up one of the best venues on offer for your own Christmas party, be sure to move fast! We’ve compiled the following list of top choices to help point you in the right direction so you needn’t miss out.
The Montague Ski Lodge
The mere words ‘ski lodge’ conjure up images of a snowy winter wonderland, and so it’s a good job that’s exactly what The Montague Ski Lodge becomes during the festive period. The attention to detail is what makes this venue such a special choice, and not just in the décor. Tuck into an Alpine themed platter, including tempting morsels such as mini bratwurst, turkey schnitzel and deep-fried camembert, washed down with your choice of mulled wine, flavoured vodkas, winter Pimm’s or a warming hot chocolate cocktail.
Blame Gloria
Christmas brings to mind the notion of being cosy, and basement level spaces inherently tend to offer just such vibes, not least so Blame Gloria. This underground bar has a wonderfully immersive feel, with an abundance of character brought about by the likes of arched ceilings, exposed brickwork and booth-style seating. Exclusive hire is available for larger gatherings of up to 220 people, with the nearest rail links including Covent Garden, Charing Cross and Embankment.
RIBA Venues
Beautifully designed throughout, RIBA Venues has a sophisticated and elegant feel that perfectly encapsulates the decadent nature of a festive celebration. It’s a time of year that is all about pushing the boat out in a bid to impress, after all, and impress these spaces most certainly will. Speaking of the spaces on offer, all rooms on the top floor (not to mention the 3 roof terraces) boast wonderful panoramic views of the city beyond, sure to delight locals and first-time visitors alike.
The Nags Head
Bright, bold, quirky, stylish, colourful and fun are all words that could be used to describe the décor and overall style found throughout The Nags Head. What’s more, the experienced and friendly inhouse team are more than happy to work alongside you to create a bespoke experience that caters to your heart’s desire. Located in the hub of Covent Garden, the tube station of the same name can be reached in mere seconds, keeping you well connected to the rest of the city.
Nine Adam Street
This brand new exclusive event space is ideally located in the middle of The Strand. Finished to a high standard this venue has the perfect balance of a modern contemporary blank canvas venue. The space can accommodate up to 250 people standing and features 2 arches, 2 breakouts, 1 VIP area, a reception area and a kitchen space. The space perfect for product launches, receptions, press days, Christmas parties, experiential activity, private parties, after-parties, exhibitions and much more.
