Why settle for anything less than extraordinary when it comes to choosing a venue for your next event? Our themed venues London will leave your guests and attendees open-mouthed as they look around, explore, and enjoy themselves in these remarkable spaces.
Themed venues have been very much on the rise in recent years, as events attendees increasingly demand more spectacle from the spaces they visit.
Whether the theme is specific to one evening only (and there are dozens of amazing themed venues which offer a ‘blank canvas’ onto which you can project your wildest ambitions), or the entire venue is decorated up to the nines with thematic adornment, there’s a massive range to choose from.
At Venueseeker, we absolutely love themed venues in London. There’s something so special about going all-out with decorative features, menus, lighting, furnishing and much, much more, and providing guests with a truly immersive and memorable experience.
That’s why we’ve compiled some of our absolute favourite themed venues here for you to browse through, and maybe consider for your next barnstorming happening right here in the capital.
Skylight London
Transport your attendees back in time to a period of Edwardian glamour and relaxed, outdoor pursuits. Skylight London is one of the capital’s most beautiful and impressive new venues, and is themed a vintage lawn club – here, your guests will have the chance to relax under the summer sunshine with a cooling glass of gin and tonic, or get up and partake in a game of croquet or petanque.
It’s a truly remarkable reimagining of an urban space, and one which is ideal for a wide range of events.
- Capacity: n/a
- Best for: relaxed social events, receptions.

The rooftop bar and games areas are fast becoming London institutions, and rightly so – this space is absolutely gorgeous at any time of year!

Rainforest Cafe
Who could fail to go wild for this jungle-themed London venue, which is as charming as it is beguiling, as childlike as it is immersive?
