The best summer party venues with activities in London

This seasonal summer party venue epitomises everything you could wish from a venue.

Set just minutes from Liverpool Street Station, Pitch City is a haven for golfing fun. Along with lounge-style areas and spaces for standing drinks, you’ll find eight bays fitted with simulator golf.

Mamma Mia! The Party does what it says on the tin: sing-alongs, sunny Greek dishes, audience interaction and a natural shift from seated courses to standing, high-energy celebration built around familiar ABBA tracks. By the end, most people are on their feet, singing along and dancing, rather than watching from the sidelines.

Crazy golf specialists, Swingers West End, are a real favourite for summer party hire.

Shoreditch Balls is a funky one. Set on Old Street, you’ll find two floors of crazy golf courses, plus a rooftop terrace garden for drinks while taking in East London views.

While not activity-based in the sense of interaction, ABBA Voyage offers an experience that’ll bring everyone together, singing along to ABBA tunes and dancing throughout.
