Tucked away in the heart of Southwark, The Magician’s Table delivers two hours of immersive close-up magic, all set inside an atmospheric warehouse.

Known for its bespoke golf courses and buzzing atmosphere, Swingers is well-equipped for large scale events with activities.

If you're looking for a touch of nostalgia, Fairgame brings hours of fairground fun. This sprawling site covers 24,500 square feet, complete with twelve original games alongside street food and cocktail pitchers.

Choose from private hire spaces such as the 80-person Carousel Bar, or sprawling Summer Terrace, or take over the entire venue for up to 600.

What better way to bring the team together than with a hands-on class at The Avenue Cookery School? Here, your team can really get stuck in, with events for all skill levels. Groups of up to 30 can take part in a sushi masterclass or pizza workshop with the option to add extras such as personalised aprons or bottomless wine.

For an evening of crazy golf, and perhaps a spot of karaoke, Shoreditch Balls has gone all out with its activities, offering a slightly bonkers course that’s full of pipes and loops. Larger groups can take over the entire fairway, whilst smaller private spaces, including a rooftop terrace, are perfect for once you’ve hit the green.

This gaming-led restaurant and bar is one of Shoreditch’s finest, pairing high-spec gaming with pizzas and cocktails. Take over part of the venue for up to 16 players, or hire the space exclusively for 32, with consoles, gaming booths, and even an e-sports stage included.

This multi-level Tooting venue is hugely popular for relaxed events that still manage to bring that party atmosphere.
