How to choose a Christmas party venue in central London

Pick the neighbourhood by the kind of night you want

Soho and Oxford Circus suit a lively night of cocktails and dancing. Mayfair suits a polished party in a members' club or lounge. Covent Garden and Charing Cross suit dinner-led parties, and Holborn suits larger formal events. Choosing the area first narrows a very long list quickly.

Be clear about exclusive or semi-private

In December, central London bars are busy with walk-in trade, so a semi-private area can feel crowded. If privacy matters, budget for exclusive hire or a separate room, and ask exactly which areas are yours for the night.
