If your office is looking to break away from the typical tinsel-and-turkey scene this Christmas, Soho's Century Club offers something altogether more stylish. Set above the clatter and charm of Shaftesbury Avenue, this members' club has long been a home to London’s most curious and creative minds and during the festive season, it transforms into one of the city’s most atmospheric spots for a corporate celebration.
With its quietly theatrical interiors, spectacular rooftop views and eclectic mix of event spaces, Century is made for entertaining. Whether you’re planning a drinks party with panoramic skyline views or a sit-down dinner that sparkles from starter to speeches, there’s a corner of this club to suit your every whim. The Cocktail Lounge sets the tone with its exposed brick, bold art and monthly signature cocktails, while the Green Room provides a more playful setting for screenings, speeches or late-night cabaret. Outside, two rooftop terraces - including Soho’s largest - offer guests a front-row seat to the twinkling West End skyline. Come December, heaters, blankets and seasonal cocktails make it feel like a private winter retreat.
For larger affairs, the entire venue is available for private hire, accommodating up to 550 guests across its four floors. Those seeking something more intimate can host a dinner for 60 beneath the retractable roof of the Main Terrace or take over the cosy Cocktail Lounge for a standing reception of 80. Whichever space you choose, expect elevated festive fare from the club’s kitchen and a drinks list curated with serious care - wines from independent producers, house cocktails with a twist, and all the classics in between.
What really sets Century Club apart is its blend of character and professionalism. This is not your average hire-by-numbers venue. The team here are seasoned hosts with a flair for detail and a love of throwing a good party. For a Christmas celebration that’s full of personality - and a world away from conference rooms in tinsel, look no further than Century Club.
