Best corporate party venues for hire in London

There's no shortage of brilliant private hire party venues in London - take a look at some of our favourite spots for corporate parties

Updated on 09 September 2024

Got a corporate party to plan? London’s is packed to the gunnels with incredible private hire venues and spaces, so whatever you’re planning, there’s a space in the capital that’s perfect for you.

The best corporate party venues in London are a varied lot. As you might expect, there are options all over the city, ranging from historic Grade-I listed mansions to contemporary blank canvas spaces with cutting edge AV and tech solutions. The question is, what sort of party do you have in mind? If you’re getting the company out of the office for a big celebration, an end of year or summer party, there are lots of unique, interesting venues that have plenty of character to keep your colleagues entertained. London’s venues also specialise in al fresco rooftop terraces, often with jaw-dropping views over the city. Booking a classy venue that also provides a unique high rise view is a sure-fire way to ensure your party location impresses. We've got a whole feature dedicated to the best summer party venues in London as well, if that's what you're looking for.

Alternatively, look into London’s many blank canvas spaces. London’s bigger hotels and private venues often have a hefty portfolio of large spaces available, which can be customised and set up to suit practically any event. Dedicated events teams at these venues are ever-helpful and ready to get the site organised for in whatever format you choose.

The vast majority of these venues also have in-house catering, or at the very least, a little black book of recommended caterers and suppliers that can look after the food and drink for you. These are all details you can iron out with the events team when you talk to them about your event but for the most part, venues are flexible to your requirements.
