You can definitely find options for affordable party apartments in London. The cheapest ones start at around £40/hr and you can get an even better deal if you think outside the box. One thing you can do to save money is to include different types of spaces, like small studios and function rooms. If you want the food taken care of, you should maybe pick a minimum spend deal for a private room in a hotel or restaurant?
The best places for parties are usually the ones where you can find the most party apartments. You can find good options for all party sizes all over Dalston and Islington, particularly along the A501. In South London, however, Battersea and the areas along the South Bank will be your best bet with their great modern apartments and spaces for hire.
Many of the party apartments in London will allow this. If you know you’re going to want to do everything yourself, use appropriate filters on Tagvenue to see only the venues that let you bring your own food and drinks.
A party apartment in London is an apartment-style venue hired for a private event by the hour, session or day. On Tagvenue, these include converted warehouse apartments, penthouses, lofts and apartment suites inside hotels and guest houses, often with living areas, kitchens and private outdoor space.
This is different from renting a residential flat overnight. A large apartment is not automatically suitable for a party: check that events are permitted, the seated and standing capacity, and any rules on music and finish times.
Most party apartments on Tagvenue are hired for the event rather than an overnight stay. You typically book a block of hours or a full day, although a small number of London listings also have bedrooms.
If staying overnight is essential, check that accommodation is explicitly included rather than assuming an apartment-style event venue allows overnight guests. If you're primarily looking for a party space, hourly or day-hire venues make the event permissions, capacity and booking terms clearer.
Sleeping capacity, seated capacity and standing capacity are different numbers. Check the seated and standing figures against the format of your event before you shortlist.

Based on London party apartments listed on Tagvenue
As a rule of thumb across the 16 London listings, seated capacity is roughly half the standing figure – so a space quoted at 80 standing will seat around 35 to 40 for dinner.

London party apartments are available across central, east and south London, with options ranging from warehouse-style spaces to penthouses and hotel apartments. The best area depends on your guest journey, budget and the type of space you want.
Don't rely on “Central London” alone when comparing locations. Check the actual walking distance to the station your guests are most likely to use, particularly for an evening event.

What's included varies by venue, so compare the total cost rather than the headline rate. Some party apartments offer space-only or dry hire, while others include catering, drinks or staffing through packages or minimum-spend pricing.
Charges that appear on London listings beyond the headline price:
Tagvenue requires venues to list their best available rates under our terms and conditions, and listings are checked regularly to keep pricing accurate, so the figure you see is a real starting point rather than a teaser.
Some London party apartments allow self-catering or external caterers, while others require you to use in-house food and drink packages. Check the individual venue's policy before booking.
If you plan to bring your own drinks, check whether BYO is permitted and whether corkage or other charges apply.
This is the most common reason a party apartment booking goes wrong, and the rules vary sharply between listings. Apartment-style venues often sit in or next to residential buildings, so late music is frequently restricted even when the space itself is private.
Arc Space London in Fitzrovia is next to residential apartments and asks guests to keep noise down after 21:45 and avoid loud music, so it suits events finishing earlier in the evening. The Designer's Penthouse in Old Street asks guests not to disturb neighbours. Menier Penthouse in Southwark can stay open until 23:00 for an additional cost, quoted per booking.
If late music is a priority, compare apartment-style venues with dedicated party spaces that explicitly allow the finish time and entertainment you need. Explore Party venues in London and private party venues in London list spaces built for it.
Booking, deposit and cancellation terms vary by venue. Examples verified on London listings include:
Enquire on Tagvenue and keep all communication on the platform, so the quote, the finish time and the cancellation terms are recorded in one place before you pay.
