The best Christmas party venues in and near London for teams
A shortlist of Christmas party venues for teams, in London or within 90 minutes of it: a couple of city hotels and a run of countryside estates. All of the spaces can be booked for the day or evening, plus they also have bedrooms if you'd rather nobody has to think about the last train home.
What to look for in a company Christmas party venue
The obvious things first: a space that seats your whole team for dinner, somewhere to spill out into afterwards, and a location people can easily get to on a December evening. Beyond that, the venues that make the best Christmas parties tend to have character – a 400-year-old barn, an island, a rooftop – so the night feels like an occasion rather than a function room with tinsel.
A few practical checks before you book: whether the dinner capacity matches your headcount (it's often a different number to the standing event capacity), whether you can take the venue exclusively for the night, and how early their December calendar fills. For the countryside estates especially, weekends go months ahead. And if you're planning to stay over, ask about bedroom numbers early, as they are the first thing to sell out.
