More premium spaces such as the Backstage area at Eastcheap Records, offer packages from £1500.

These prices can vary based on the venue’s location, time of year, and the size of your party.
Yes, many London venues operate on a minimum-spend model, which can be a cost-effective way to host a Christmas party. For example, Willy's Wine Bar in Tower Hill requires a minimum spend of £2,500 per session, and The Botanist Broadgate Circle starts at £1,000. The minimum-spend model allows you to cover food and drink costs for your guests while enjoying the exclusive use of the venue.
For popular venues in central London, it's best to book your Christmas party venue at least 6 to 12 months in advance. Venues like Sky Garden Bars or The Listing at Bank are in high demand during the holiday season, and securing your spot early ensures you’ll get your preferred date and time. For smaller venues, such as The Flying Horse near Moorgate, you might be able to book a few months ahead, but earlier is always better.
In most London venues, the price typically includes the use of the space and catering options like food and drinks. For example, Tuttons Brasserie in Covent Garden, one of our most highly rated venues, charges £55 per person, which covers a private dining experience. Many venues, such as The Trading House near Monument, also include entertainment options, such as live music or DJ services. Be sure to check what each venue offers, as packages can vary depending on the venue and price structure.
