Bars and Nightclubs

As one of London’s oldest pubs, this Hampstead venue is an atmospheric setting for drinks receptions and parties. A characterful 16^th Century building, this is a great example of a country pub in a city setting. The venue boasts a grand garden for summer events and separate dining area. The venue is also great for winter events and Christmas parties, with roaring log fires and cosy interiors.

This central London pub is a great example of an old Victorian “Gin Palace”, a tribute to an architectural first (the Holborn Viaduct), and has links to the old Newgate Prison. Its spooky connections make it a great choice for Halloween parties – the pub stands on the original site of an 18^th Century debtors prison and features cells in its basement. There have even been claims of hauntings.

At the City’s new Prohibition-inspired bar, there’s no tell-tale neon sign or oversized door knocker – it’s hidden between a Nando’s and a dry cleaners. Don’t be perturbed by the lack of signage. Head down the unexpected stairwell and you’ll find a basement bar whose exposed brick walls are adorned with archive photographs, dimly lit by copper pendant lamps and candles. This is a great spot for winter parties with a touch of mystery about them.

The pop-­up bar comes with a chic ski-inspired decor – think reindeer fur, vintage skis, and a toasty fireplace with ‘panoramic views of the Alps’ through fantastical windows. With a maximum capacity of 250 people, the flexible floorplan makes the perfect venue for both intimate and large-scale events and is a great option for Christmas parties.

This venue is both a nightclub and a state of the art event space. It is comprised of three studios and located only a few minutes walk from Shadwell station. The main studio’s heritage as a legendary nightclub makes it hard to beat when it comes to picking your Christmas party venue. The studio is urban in both look and feel, with exposed brickwork and steelwork surrounding the space. The Black Studio is one of few all black, blackout studios in London. A main feature of this smaller studio is a 26ft white infinity cove, which becomes a focal point of Ultimate Experience’s Christmas look.

This South London rooftop has become so popular that its opening has started to symbolise the beginning of summer. Hire the whole space and treat your guests to negronis and some incredible views across the Big Smoke.

This may look like an ordinary cocktail bar, but there’s a catch. Everything that isn’t nailed down is for sale. It’s a celebration of fine drinks, music, food, art and all things ‘Once Loved’.

This unique restaurant and bar serves modern British food, vintage cocktails and carefully curated wines in a specially designed space, occupying an 18th century basement in the heart of Soho. The contemporary yet comfortable space is ideal if you’re looking for somewhere to host a 1960s themed event.

Hidden beneath an unassuming juice bar in central London, this cocktail bar is an underground gem. the tables are candlelit, exposed brickwork clad the walls, a fire sets the room aglow, a gramophone sits in the corner and 1920’s signs give a very prohibition feel. This place is nothing if not unique and smack bang in the middle of London.

This relaxed and colourful South London pub has a huge hidden garden complete with fairy lights, furry blankets and eclectic furniture. The little gem is just a stone’s throw from Battersea Park. Expect plenty of dancing and loads of fun. You’ll hear everything from funk, Balkan and reggae to hip hop, ska and Latin.
