Why hold your Christmas party in the City?

For teams based in the Square Mile, a City venue means colleagues walk straight from the office and the party starts on time. The City has a mix you won't find elsewhere in London: centuries-old livery halls and Inns of Court for a formal festive dinner, skyline bars for drinks with a view, and late-licence venues for teams who want to keep going.

How to choose a Christmas party venue in the City of London

Decide between historic, skyline and late-night

City Christmas parties tend to fall into three styles. Livery halls and Inns of Court suit a formal seated dinner with speeches. Skyline bars and rooftop rooms suit a drinks reception where the view does the work. Clubs and late-licence bars suit teams who want to dance after dinner elsewhere. Pick the style first and the shortlist gets much shorter.

Stay close to the office

The biggest advantage of a City venue is that people walk there after work. Choose somewhere within ten to fifteen minutes of your office or of the main stations your team uses, such as Liverpool Street, Bank or Moorgate.
