Christmas in the office is fine, that is, until someone suggests Secret Santa again. For a festive celebration that swaps fluorescent strip lights for fairy lights, The View at The Royal College of Surgeons is hard to beat. Perched above historic Lincoln’s Inn Fields, this elegant venue offers two distinct spaces to transform your corporate Christmas party into an event worth remembering.
The View’s top floor is the star of the show: a sparkling winter woodland inspired by the North Pole, complete with snow-dusted trees, twinkling lights and the scent of mulled wine in the air. Guests can sip seasonal cocktails on the terrace while taking in panoramic views of the London skyline before moving inside for a night of feasting and dancing. With space for up to 180 for a sit-down dinner or 300 for a standing reception, it’s ideal for large corporate soirées. Packages range from festive bowl food and unlimited drinks to indulgent three-course menus with cheese stations, Champagne, DJs and theming included. All you need to do is gather the team and bring your Christmas spirit.
For something more traditional, The Lumley Library provides a different kind of magic. Surrounded by leather-bound volumes and warm, historic charm, this Dickensian setting is perfect for intimate dinners or smaller office parties. Seating up to 90 for dinner or 150 for a standing reception, the Library offers the same outstanding seasonal menus, from wild mushroom pâté to roast Suffolk turkey with all the trimmings, and desserts like mince pie meringue or Islands chocolate burnt Cambridge cream.
Whichever space you choose, the packages are designed to take care of everything: welcome cocktails, festive theming, outstanding menus, house wines and security are all included. And with menus that balance classic Christmas comfort with contemporary flair - think braised featherblade with horseradish mash or beetroot and tarragon risotto - no one will be sneaking off early.
At The View, Christmas parties are more than a date in the office diary; they’re an escape into something genuinely magical. This year, leave the paper hats behind and step into a festive celebration with style, sparkle and plenty of seasonal cheer.
