FAQs about Top Outdoor Venues in London
Costs vary widely depending on the venue and time. Packages can start as low as £12 per person, while full-day hires for larger venues typically begin around £800. Check for weekday or time-specific deals on Tagvenue.
For scenic experiences, consider venues along the River Thames, in The City, or Canary Wharf. You can hire venues in one of the many parks of London, such as The Battersea Park or The Regent’s Park for an outdoor experience not too far away from the city centre.
London is known for its unpredictable weather, so many venues have backup options for outdoor spaces in case of sudden weather changes. Many outdoor spots in London offer covered options or nearby indoor spaces in case of inclement weather. Always confirm this with the venue manager.
Free hire often refers to minimum spend venues, where you only pay for food and drinks rather than a hire fee. This can be a cost-effective option for events.
Your Guide to Hiring Outdoor Venues in London
Summer in London is brief, so take advantage of the warm days to hold your event outdoors. The city offers various types of outdoor spaces, each suitable for different occasions. Whether it's a beer garden for a casual birthday or an elegant garden for a corporate function, we've got you covered with a list of outdoor spots to suit your event.
Pubs with Outdoor Areas
Celebrate your event in a classic pub with a backyard or garden. These party spots are perfect for summer and provide shelter in case of rain, making them a great pick for casual parties or live music events. Check out The Minories, a traditional pub with a lovely garden, just a short walk from London’s famous landmarks for your next party.
Rooftop Terraces
Take in the breathtaking London skyline while enjoying a refreshing cocktail on a rooftop terrace. Perfect for both daytime sun-soaked events and evening celebrations under the stars. Wondering where to party? Roof Terrace at Uncommon Borough is a flexible space with stunning views, conveniently located near London Bridge.
Gardens
Host your event amidst nature in one of London’s beautiful gardens. Gardens provide a stunning backdrop for photos and videos, making them ideal for events with photographers or guests who love snapping pictures. The Hyde Garden at The Hyde Restaurant provides a peaceful garden space that can cater to private functions like baby showers or hen parties.
Patios
For easy accessibility, consider a patio venue. A floor-level space can be a great option for an event where accessibility is the key requirement in your venue hunt. Usually paved, patios should be convenient to anyone attending. Patios are also a good choice for events like concerts or gigs, as there won’t be many obstacles for the performers to bring in their gear. Check out places like the Private Outdoor Patio at Uncommon Fulham, a chic coworking space offering outdoor packages, perfect for team outings.
Boats and Yachts
Make your event truly memorable by hosting it on the River Thames. Enjoy city views and a refreshing breeze, whether it's a day party or an evening celebration. West End On The Thames offers customisable spaces and river cruises for stag parties, birthdays, and more.
Lawns
Lawns are great for large functions like a family picnic or networking event. Before you decide on hiring such a venue though, contact the venue manager to make sure the place can host the event you have in mind. The Garden Atrium at Shoreditch Gardens is a naturally shaded space close to the city, perfect for big events.
Outdoor Activities for All Ages
Integrating fresh air games and entertainment is a fantastic way to add fun and engagement to all the outdoor events in London - from birthdays to family reunions. Here's how to choose and set up activities that will keep everyone entertained, from toddlers to grandparents.
- Classic Lawn Games: Set up croquet or giant Jenga to break the ice and encourage guests to mingle and interact with each other.
- Interactive Stations: Create DIY stations for crafts like kite-making or flower crowns.These stations not only entertain but also allow guests to take home a memorable keepsake from your event.
- Family Competitions: Organise competitions where families can participate together, such as a three-legged race, sack race, or a water balloon toss. Offer small prizes to add a competitive edge and watch as teams of families and friends band together for some lighthearted fun.
- Treasure Hunts: Tailor a treasure hunt to your venue to promote exploration and teamwork. Hide clues around the garden that lead to a treasure chest filled with goodies.
- Outdoor Crafts: Provide a crafts table for guests to create themed keepsakes.
- Live Music: Hire a band or soloist to provide a lively soundtrack. For kids, consider magicians or puppeteers.
- Movie Under the Stars: If your event stretches into the evening, a movie screening under the stars can be a magical conclusion. Set up a screen and project a family-friendly film. Provide blankets and popcorn for a cosy cinema experience in the garden.
- Chill-out Zones: Designate quiet areas with seating for relaxation away from the activities. Create chill-out zones with comfortable seating, perhaps around a fire pit or under a canopy of lights.
Ensure accessibility for all guests and choose activities that everyone can enjoy. If you’d like to see even more ways to make your fresh air party amazing, have a look at 16 Top Outdoor Party Ideas for 2024!
