London's best summer party venues

As Ella Fitzgerald once sang ‘Summertime and the living is easy’ and thanks to our handy list of London’s best summer party venues, planning an incredible summer party is just as easy, hooray! We've attended quite a few parties in our time, so we can spot the perfect venue when we see one. We've added our findings to a handy list to help you plan a superb summertime soiree.

Updated on 08 July 2021

When planning an event they say that the people make the place, however, we feel confident after looking at some of these incredible summer party venues that the place can make the event (sorry guests, it’s no longer all about you.)

London’s summer party venues offer a variety of spaces and facilities, with excellent outdoor spaces for open air celebrations and amazing views. SquareMeal has scoured the Capital in order to find the very best venues available for your summer party. Choose from iconic London landmarks, galleries, restaurants, palaces and even boats for your next party venue in London and celebrate the warmer season in style.

The summer brings the heat (occasionally) and it always brings the fun. With the summer months come the perfect conditions for throwing a soiree, wedding, product launch, hen do, business gathering, and no matter your budget or requirements we've found something to keep your guests talking long after the party is over. When it comes to planning the perfect summer party - whether for work or for friends and family - think about the style of party you are planning and then start to search for a venue that would suit the style of your party. If it’s a large event you are planning then look for an impressive venue that offers exclusive hire. For smaller gatherings, you might want to instead choose a location that offers shared parties or the ability to hire smaller spaces within the venue.

Come on - do you really need more reasons to throw a party? It’s sunny outside! Start exploring our list of the best summer party venues - if you need any help then our free concierge service is always available to help you find your venue.
