London in the summer time is a fantastic place to organise an event. While the summer sunshine isn't as predictable as we'd like, the range of different venues the Squaremeal team can offer is as reliable as ever. Whether you're after an alfresco party, dinner, teambuilding even or even just a fun barbecue in the sunshine.
Even when the weather doesn't hold up or if you just don't fancy taking the risk, there's a number of venues to choose from that will keep you dry. Marquees and temporary structures, for example, are a popular choice, as you can have that outdoor venue feel with a roof, should things start to look a little cloudy.
Then you could have a look at the combination venues, where guests begin in an indoor space and have the options to pop outside, either as a breakout space, or simply as another area to take the party.
Those looking for wedding reception venues will also be spoilt for choice – there are riverside locations, boutique hotels with gardens and courtyards and plenty of funky venues suitable for all budgets and all suited to a summery theme.
