If you're looking for a festive venue that's central, stylish and offers plenty of flexibility, FORA's Parcels Building provides a polished backdrop for everything from company celebrations to end-of-year presentations followed by drinks.
Located directly opposite Selfridges on Oxford Street, the venue couldn't be easier to reach. Bond Street station, including the Elizabeth line, is just moments away, allowing guests to travel from Paddington, King's Cross, Euston and beyond in just a few minutes. That convenience makes a huge difference for Christmas parties, particularly when colleagues are travelling in from different parts of London or further afield.
At the heart of the venue is The Theatre, a contemporary event space designed for presentations, launches and panel discussions, but equally well suited to festive celebrations. Double-height ceilings immediately give the room a sense of scale, while tiered auditorium seating, comfortable cushions, an integrated television screen and a striking statement staircase mean the space already feels thoughtfully designed without needing extensive decoration. For companies looking to combine business with celebration, it's easy to imagine an afternoon awards ceremony or annual wrap-up seamlessly flowing into an evening Christmas party.
One of the venue's biggest advantages is its connection to the adjoining rooftop terrace and indoor bar. Guests can move effortlessly between spaces throughout the evening, with the bar providing a natural hub for festive cocktails while the terrace offers impressive views across Oxford Street and central London. Even during the winter months, stepping outside for a breath of fresh air while overlooking the city's Christmas lights adds something memorable to the occasion.
The venue accommodates up to 50 guests seated or 80 standing, making it an excellent fit for medium-sized office celebrations, networking events or client parties. Rather than being tied to one restaurant menu, catering is completely bespoke. FORA works with a carefully selected group of preferred caterers who can tailor food and drink to suit the event, whether that's elegant canapés, bowl food, festive buffets or indulgent afternoon teas.
