Birthday Party Venues for Hire in London

Hosting a big birthday bash but not sure where to start? No problem, Tagvenue is here to lend a helping hand. Our round-up of the best birthday party venues in London is definitely worth celebrating. From chic cocktail emporiums to cool karaoke bars, Tagvenue lists a diverse range of birthday places in London that’ll help make your big day go off with a bang.

Here are some things to consider when hiring a birthday party venue:

• The convenience of its location and transport links.

• The style of venue that would best suit (are you looking for a posh Mayfair restaurant, a VIP party bus for a surprise party, or would you like to hire one of the best bars for birthdays in London?).

• Your budget.

• The size of your guest list (do you need an intimate space for a girls' night out with your BFFs or a large space for a joint birthday party?).

• The time of your event.

• Entertainment options (DJ, live band, beer pong, photo booth, etc.).

• Your catering needs (whether the venue allows external catering, can cater to dietary requirements, etc.).

• Whether you need a contingency plan for wet weather (this is essential for outdoor venues, like gardens and terraces).

Get inspired by some of these birthday party ideas:

• Afternoon tea – it’s hard to think of a more British way to celebrate a birthday! Indulge yourself and your guests with delightful treats, such as scones with clotted cream and shortbreads. High tea is a really special way to celebrate a milestone birthday party, like a 30th, 40th or 80th.

• Boat party – full steam ahead! Enjoy breathtaking views of the Thames and London’s iconic skyline while you’re celebrating your birthday. No matter if you’re searching for a luxury boat or something more affordable, #tagvenue has a host of boat birthday party venues for you to choose from.

• Quirky birthday – let your imagination run completely wild. Going with a cool theme, like a Hawaiian luau, the Roaring 20s or the hippie 70s is always a lot of fun. Or maybe you’d prefer a royal theme for something a little extravagant? Hiring a dry hire or blank canvas venue might be a good idea, as it gives you a lot of creative freedom. You can also try bar hire or take a look at some of the best party halls in London. Tagvenue is here to help you make your birthday bash a day – or night – to remember!

Birthday Party Venues in London FAQ

What kind of venue is good for a birthday party?

You can hold a birthday party pretty much anywhere that suits your taste. Some great traditional locations for a party, however, include bars and pubs, which have the benefit of having no hire fee. Also be sure and look at studios or cafes, as these smaller spaces offer a cosy feel and reasonable whole venue hire.

Why should I hire a venue for a birthday party?

Hiring a venue for a birthday party is a low stress way to celebrate growing older – or younger (we’ll let you decide). Regardless of your age, you won’t have to suffer the pangs of preparing your home for a large group and you also won’t face having to do the dishes afterwards.

Can I bring my own alcohol and food for my birthday party?

Be sure and check the venue offer before you book your event to make sure. Also, double check with the venue manager to ensure that they are able to support your catering vendor as needed. You might want to investigate whether there are any extra fees for this, such as a corkage fee, for example.
