Which is the best summer London party venue to hire with a view of the Thames?

When the sun is shining, many Londoners believe it’s the best city in the world. Nothing beats sipping drinks to live music next to the Thames. Don’t let the sun slip through your fingers this year and host your next summer event right on the river. At Venueseeker, we pride ourselves on having some of the best venues for hire London has on the waterfront. In case you’re in need of a little inspiration, here are some of our favourite destinations for a summer London party with a view of the Thames.

Party by the Thames in London summer sunshine with Venueseeker

Of course, sailing down the Thames on one of our Capital Pleasure Boats is pretty hard to beat. You can sail away into the sunset aboard the four different boats that Capital Pleasure Boats has available. By choosing this summer venue London can offer you not just one splendid view of the Thames, but all of them. Our largest boats can hold up to 240 people. And, like all of our venue hire London caterers can provide bespoke menus from around the world.

Sticking to the boating theme, we would also highly recommend the stunning Westminster Boating Base. This is one summer venue London will find hard to beat (especially if you prefer staying on dry land). The enchanting Pavilion extends over the river, with floor to ceiling windows all round to provide dazzling views up and down the Thames, including Battersea Power Station. The Edgson Room has a full length covered balcony facing the river. Thanks to its top-of-the-range lights and speaker system, you can dance the night away with the river lapping at your heels. This sumptuous summer venue holds up to 350 special guests. Sound proofing in the Edgson Room, means that you can play a heavy base for revelers while a calmer crowd in the Pavilion won’t be able to hear a thing.

The Banqueting Hall can host up to 250 people and the whole building has state of the art sound and lighting equipment, allowing guests to party by the waves until the sun comes up.
