Are There Budget-Friendly NYE Party Venues That Still Feel Special?

London’s pricey but your party doesn’t have to be. Here’s how to keep the costs low while having a great party:

Pub takeovers:

Smaller pubs in areas like Southwark, Tufnell Park, or Bermondsey often rent out their back rooms or full venue for a flat fee or minimum spend.

Our favourite: Try The Market House in Brixton. Its upstairs lounge is perfect for private hire and DJs, and there’s usually no hire fee if you hit the minimum spend.

Community halls & local gems:

Spaces in Peckham, Greenwich or Clapton can go for under £100/hr, and many let you bring your own drinks and food.

Our favourite: The Living Room Place in Greenwich offers a modern, versatile space with affordable dry hire and BYOB options.

Shared parties:

Book a section of a bar or join an existing NYE party. Venues in Shoreditch and Camden often host group-friendly celebrations with entry, drinks, and entertainment included.

Our favourite: Book a table at SAMA Bankside. This industrial-style bar near Southwark often hosts themed NYE parties with ticketed access and group tables.

Off-peak bookings:

Host a New Year’s brunch or party on the 30th or 1st—venues charge less and you’ll actually get availability.

Our favourite: Consider hosting your party at Trapeze Bar in Shoreditch on the 30th—this bar offers packages for private groups.

Rooftop views on a budget:

Skip the packed central spots. Venues in areas like Vauxhall or Wapping still offer skyline views, without the premium.

Our favourite: The Mezzanine on Bermondsey Street has a semi-private bar area for groups and offers NYE packages that won’t break the bank.

What’s Typically Included in NYE Party Packages in London?

When Londoners party into the new year, they don’t hold back—and neither do the venues. While the details can vary, most NYE party packages in London include a combination of:

• Venue hire or minimum spend - Some places like MNM in Tower Hill charge a flat hourly hire fee (£25/hr), while others like Callooh Callay Shoreditch or LOCKES Bar Covent Garden work on a minimum spend basis—usually ranging from £700 to over £2,000, depending on the session and guest size.
• Welcome drinks or open bar - Premium venues like Hyatt Place City East or Qube East Docklands often include welcome cocktails, drink tokens, or a full open bar, especially for higher minimum spend events.
• Catering or canapés - Many packages include light bites, finger food, or full catering—particularly in swanky spots like Basement Sate Soho or The Oxford Market in Fitzrovia. 
• DJs, entertainment & dancefloors - Venues like Barrio Shoreditch are known for throwing high-energy bashes with live DJs, themed décor, dancefloors, and confetti countdowns.
• Countdown & fireworks access - Some locations, especially riverside restaurants and bars like Riverside East in Stratford or 3Locks Industrial Brewery in Camden—offer views of London’s famous fireworks or screen the countdown live inside.
