Coolest party venues in London

This is a blank canvas party venue with all the effortless cool you could wish for. Hoxton Docks offers several spaces waiting to be transformed for your event, including two warehouse spaces, an atrium, yard, green room, and deck space on the water.

The Mandrake is a slick boutique hotel in Fitzrovia with a huge variety of great spaces available for hire. We love terrace restaurant Jurema but for top cool marks head to YOPO with its rainforest decor and giant taxidermy ostrich.

Designed by renowned French duo Dion & Arles, Louie's spaces all feel unique and luxurious. We love the cosy top floor Cabana for intimate dinner parties, but the height of cool is the Alligator Bar and Terrace, complete with foliage-laden semi-open terrace.

Set between Old Street and Shoreditch, you can't miss art'otel's towering facade on the corner of Rivington and Great Eastern Streets. Everything here feels big and spacious, but as single private hire spaces go, the Art Gallery is guaranteed to impress.

Striking and full of character, the London Transport Museum offers an impressive backdrop for evening receptions, dinners and glitzy parties. Blending old and new interiors with displays of iconic transport posters and original artwork, the space is a feast for the eyes and a gift to your guests’ Instagram accounts. It also partners with a number of great caterers so you can be sure of good food while you party.

If the thought of dining within ancient stone walls that have witnessed almost 1,000 years of siege, ceremony, triumphs, and bloodshed is exciting to you, then you need to find any excuse to hire the historic Tower of London. This World Heritage Site offers a magnificent backdrop for large or unusual events and includes the option to add on extras such as a Yeoman Warder tour or a private view of the Crown Jewels.

An East London cultural icon, Colours has a history of hosting iconic musical performances, and private events can take full advantage of the venue's multiple rooms. If you're planning something performance-focused, hire the Live Room, with it's state-of-the-art sound system and 'Colour Trap' LED ceiling.

From the ride in the Heron Tower elevator to the colourful Nikkei menus, SUSHISAMBA remains one of London's most exciting restaurant destinations. If you want people to jump at a party invite, this is the place to go. 

London's highest event space has one unbeatable trump card - the best views of any exclusive private hire space in London. As soon as you zip up to Horizon 22 in that special private elevator, it's impossible not to feel a bit special.

Views from The Gherkin aren't something you get to appreciate everyday, and Searcys backs up the eye candy with excellent menus and typically generous service.

There’s little not to like at this Kensington restaurant. Inspired by the captivating design of the Mediterranean and Middle East, Megan’s stands as one of the most gorgeous party venues around. Think glowing ambient lighting, interesting features, and a flavour-packed menu of satisfying sunny dishes.

Covent Garden is often seen as SUSHISAMBA's second site, and whilst it's a different vibe from the high rise Heron Tower location it's no less impressive. An abundance of plants makes SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden feel much more like a jungle, and the menu is similarly superb.

There's no chance your guests won't feel just a bit special as they walk through the private entrance at Mistress, brushing past the ruby red curtains and relaxing into velvet tub armchairs. Luxurious French cooking completes the experience.

Call us old fashioned, but there's something effortlessly chic about Cafe Mission's whitewashed walls and old Crittall style windows. Plus it's set right above one of Shoreditch's signature 'cool girl' hangouts - Mission movement studio.
