In the City of London, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to finding party venues. This affluent business district hides fab venues practically everywhere! However, we suggest starting your search near London Cannon Street Station. You’ll find there anything from funky bars, and cocktail clubs to stylish restaurants and sweeping rooftop terraces. You should also try your luck near the Bank of England, on Old Broad Street. This historic street offers fantastic coffee shops and soulful eateries that are popular among white-collar workers.   

  1. Choose a funky theme - Nothing excites guests more than a fun theme! It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate - even a simple Black & White party will do. But we always suggest choosing a theme that includes something that you especially enjoy. Maybe you’re mad about travelling or love Thai food? Personal themes will make the party stand out from the crowd and people will be more eager to show up!   
  2. Plan ahead - Give yourself enough time to plan and organise everything you’d like to include at your party. This way, you won’t forget about any important element and you’ll feel less stressed out once the day of the party comes. 
  3. Choose the perfect location - Make sure that the venue you choose is easily accessible by public transportation. Your guests will appreciate that they don’t have to spend hours commuting, and a location with a certain vibe can hype them up for the event. For example, if you’re throwing a Shakespeare party, you can choose the West End which is all about theatre and artsy vibes. 
  4. Choose a delicious menu -  Make sure that no one leaves hungry! Whether you’re planning a sit-down dinner or a cocktail party, choose delicious food that everyone will enjoy. Ideally, it should match the party theme as it will make the whole experience more cohesive. 
  5. Think of entertainment options - Music and some games are a must! They will make your party more fun and enjoyable for your guests. Also, they will save everyone from awkward silence and boredom.

Booked Whole Venue at Patch East
5.0
Everything went amazing, from the first time we visited the venue to celebrating on the day it all went just perfect. Holly was exceptional with her quick and thorough responses. Her kind and warm personality made it so easy to talk to her and her fast responses was reassuring that all that was being discussed would be addressed. We had a lot of Spanish speaking people and the fact they arranged it so all my guest could easily communicate with the staff was such a touching gesture - super grateful for your thoughtfulness. Highly recommend visiting the venue as the pictures don’t do the place justice. Very spacious and the vibe was great. The food was very good and they had a large variety; we received lots of compliments for the mini burgers. The music quality was soo good too! And Ruben, the DJ we got through Jaynee, we could not recommend him enough! He was so accommodating and a professional at his job - thank you for making our night run smoothly and making it extra special. They let us put a few bits of decoration to make it more personalised and it worked so great! Tbh the place doesn’t need it but the only thing I’d recommend is getting some tinsel curtains to cover the 2 pillars which ended up being so easy to do and looking great with everything else. Huge thank you to all the team who looked after us on the evening and made our event as wonderful as it went ♥️ your customer service is outstanding and highly recommend!

Booked Whole Venue at Patch St Paul's
5.0
Outstanding Experience at The Patch East I wanted to share my wonderful experience at The Patch East while planning my wife’s surprise 40th birthday celebration. After searching through numerous venues, I was warmly welcomed at The Patch East. Once I chose it as the venue, the staff became incredibly enthusiastic and proactive in assisting with the surprise. On the night of the event, the staff played a crucial role in the surprise and were fantastic throughout the evening. We also enjoyed exquisite catering provided by The Patch East, which received great reviews from our guests. The venue itself was absolutely perfect—clean, beautifully decorated, and conducive to a lively atmosphere where my guests danced the night away. Although I used my own DJ, the staff were exceptionally attentive and supportive. I would certainly consider The Patch East for future events and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience

Booked Top Floor at The Fable
4.7
The team at The Fable were great. On hand to help at all stages of the party organisation. The venue is a great space, I had around 200 plus people and it was ideal, would work with less or more than that too. The team weren’t forceful to push us out the door when we were collecting ourselves and gifts which I’ve had before at other parties and stuck to the promised finish time. If you are looking for a party venue this is an amazing choice.

Booked Whole Venue at St Ethelburga's Centre
5.0
Can’t recommend this venue enough. Good communication from start to finish and every person from the booking to the caretaker on the night was was very helpful. I booked the tent and nave for a family celebration (80 guests) and the tent was a really welcome chill out area (was mostly used by the children and younger guests). Every aspect was well thought out and nice little touches from the staff (like lighting the covered candles) were really appreciated. Beautiful intimate venue , great location, positive and friendly staff.

Booked The Bedouin Tent & Garden at St Ethelburga's Centre
4.7
The venue was perfect for my 19th birthday party with around 20-25 people. The tent was spacious, and the toilets were clean. The fountain and the glass room was also a great touch, as we placed food in the glass room. The venue allowed loud music which was a positive. The staff helped us with lighting and allowed me extend by 2 hours on the day. The location is very central and for the price is very affordable.

Booked Birdcage at Bird of Smithfield

Excellent venue for my 40th birthday party for 45 guests - perfect size to create a great atmosphere. Really cool venue, lovely decor, which all guests commented on and totally private - own entrance , toilets and cloakroom. Bar staff (Marcel) were excellent and attentive and the canapés were delicious. Music can be turned up loud enough to have a good dance without being deafening. Enough seats for those who want to sit. All in, perfect!
