Cocktail parties are an excellent choice for a whole variety of different social gatherings, be it intimate drinks between a few close friends or a corporate event for colleagues you are looking to impress. Luckily, London is a hub of great and widely varied venues, perfect for such occasions, and with the summer season right around the corner, rooftop locations in particular are a very popular option.

The Kia Oval

The Kia Oval

Whether you happen to be a sports fan or not, The Kia Oval makes for an excellent event space. This world famous stadium plays host to international cricket matches throughout the summer months but is also available for public use as a venue for a whole plethora of different celebrations, including cocktail parties in the open air. Its generous capacity can allow for up to an impressive 1000 people and with several Underground stations all within easy walking distance, it can be very conveniently reached by all your guests.

Big Chill House

Big Chill House

Big Chill House, found at the heart of London’s King’s Cross prides itself on the guaranteed good vibes, perfect for a laid back cocktail party.

The bar area is constructed entirely from glass for an ultra-modern finish, while kitchen and butler services are available to help meet your catering needs if so desired, allowing you to sample the wide range of wine, beer and tasty food without any of the fuss. The comfortable seating will help you relax and enjoy the occasion, while the retractable roof can either let in the sun or shut out the rain as needed, allowing your party to go ahead without a hitch, regardless of the temperamental British weather.
