Christmas parties in London have a lot of boxes to tick: a central location, plenty of space, great food and a festive vibe. Luckily, London Marriott Hotel County Hall has it all. First up, let's talk setting: it doesn't get much better than sitting on the Southbank, looking directly over to Big Ben. Wherever your team are based, we're sure they'll be able to make it to one of the capital's most iconic - and central - spots for a Christmas shindig. With plenty of underground and train stations nearby, it's an accessible meeting place for most.
Then there's space; as one of London's most prominent hotels, the Marriott's County Hall venue has plenty of room to host parties big and small. This building first opened in 1922 and was actually the home of London's local council for a time, today being a hub for tourism but still retaining gorgeous original features like its cream-toned facade. Inside, there are 12 different private dining and venue hire spaces, so rest assured there's somewhere to suit your gathering.
If you're planning on really going for it with a proper merry knees up, you can hire out the smart King George V Room which benefits from beautiful, heritage touches such as wood panelled walls and Stucco ceilings, alongside space for up to King 100 guests. For something smaller, the Ralph Knott Room is also lovely and has capacity for 30 people, while the Herbert Morrison Room could host a medium-sized dinner for up to 54 people.
The team also put on a few festive-themed extravaganzas that require no organising from you. For example, there's the Festive Afternoon Tea which puts a suitably seasonal spin on this typical British passtime, served in the grand Library room. And, for when New Year's Eve rolls around, you can celebrate in true style with a five-course tasting menu, followed by wow-worthy London fireworks display, right outside.
