Looking to plan a Christmas party in South London? As always, we are here to help.

It might be that you’re planning for a work party, or maybe it’s a family affair. It might be that you’re looking for a traditional pub atmosphere, or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more ‘out there’. You name it, we got it. *insert sassy emoji here*+

Bermondsey Social Club

Location: Bermondsey
Capacity: 120 standing, 50 seated
Check it out here: Bermondsey Social Club

If you’re looking for late night fun then look no further. The Social has a 4am license on Fridays and Saturdays for private parties – so perfect for Christmas celebrations. Tucked under an arch, their secret garden is one of London’s hidden gems, and it feels like an idyllic little getaway – even though the jubilee line is only 10 minutes walk. This venue is super popular so make sure you drop them a line sooner rather than later and secure your festive shindig!

The Exhibit

Location: Balham
Capacity: 500 standing, 158 seated
Check it out here: The Exhibit

The Exhibit is one of Balham’s most popular all day drinking and eating spots for a reason. An incredibly cool venue to host all kinds of events in, The Exhibit has several rooms available to hire, along with a boutique cinema and garden area. It’s a great space for your guests to enjoy a fancy drinks reception or sit-down meal, but also somewhere you can dance the night away.

Fu Manchu

Location: Clapham
Capacity: 300 standing, 110 seated
Check it out here: Fu Manchu

Another Clapham favourite, Fu Manchu can be found in Clapham North under two railway arches. This gives the space a cool and cosy feel, made even cooler by the state-of-the-art sound and lighting system they’ve got going on. Whether it’s a sit-down private dinner party you’re after, or a full on club style night, Fu Manchu has the looks, the atmosphere and the experience to help you host a cracking Christmas party.

King of Ladies Man

Location: Battersea
Capacity: 70 standing, 35 seated
Check it out here: King of Ladies Man

King of Ladies Man is a 1970s-inspired cocktail bar which gets its name from the iconic US sitcom, ‘Cheers’. It’s a unique venue from the entrance onwards, as it’s hidden away via a laundrette in The Breakfast Club in Battersea. For those of you that are familiar with The Breakfast Club, you’ll see similarities in its kitsch and fun-filled feel and atmosphere – ideal for a Christmas bash!

Adventure Bar, SW11

Location: Battersea
Capacity: 200 standing
Check it out here: Adventure Bar, SW11

There are a few Adventure Bars in South West London; one in Battersea, one in Clapham (and also one in Central London if you fancy looking there too). All the Adventure Bar venues are great for a Christmas party, but hey, we’re talking about the more Southern destinations. This one is not far from Clapham Junction, making it an easy commute for all your guests.
