Birthdays – they come around every year, yet many of us leave the task of searching for a suitable party venue until the last minute (by which time, all of the best ones have almost certainly been booked up). Sure, you could argue that house parties can be a lot of fun, but throwing a birthday party at a cool London venue is far more glamorous (unless you live in a Chelsea townhouse, perhaps). There is also the added benefit of not having to clean up the mess afterwards, while many of the venues in our list also come with a team of people ready to make your birthday dreams a reality.
To help you find the right space for you, we have put together this handy list of what we consider to be some of the best birthday party venues in London. Whether it is a milestone birthday that requires plenty of space for a no-expenses-spared showstopper of a bash, or one of those in-between birthdays where you just want a few drinks with friends at a cool London bar, we have got you covered.
London can be a little overwhelming when it comes to awesome places to celebrate your birthday – there are just so many different types of venues to choose from – but we are here to help. A stylish rooftop bar might be perfect for some, while others might prefer something a little more fun, which is why we have included a mix of restaurants, bars and event spaces below. Do you want to dine at your birthday bash, and if so, will you be footing the bill or would you prefer to book a private room where each guest pays for themselves? Have a think, check out our round-up below and get booking. Oh, and many happy returns!
