How much is a shared Christmas party in London?

Ticket prices run from £85 to £149 + VAT per person. Add a drinks package where drinks aren't in the ticket and the realistic all-in figure is £130 to £180 + VAT per person. See the full cost breakdown.

Which area of London has the most shared Christmas parties?

The City of London, with nine — spread across Moorgate, Monument, Tower Hill and St Paul's. Tower Hill alone has five within a few minutes' walk of each other.

What is the busiest date for London Christmas parties?

Friday 11 December 2026, with thirteen of our 19 parties running, followed by Thursday 10 December with eleven. Both sell out first. See when to book.

Can a small team book a shared Christmas party?

Yes. Most London venues take groups from eight to ten guests, and your group gets its own table. Check the minimum booking on each party page — there are some specific rules, such as Wonder Nights, which cannot seat groups of 13, 14 or 15.

Do shared Christmas parties include dinner?

Almost all include a three-course seated dinner. A few use a different format: Disco Nights and Urban Funfair serve two courses plus dessert stations, and Winters of the World serves one main from food stations rather than a seated meal.

What happens if we need to change our numbers?

Most operators allow numbers to move up until the final balance date, and down within limits set out in the contract. Ask us for the specific terms on your shortlist before you commit — they vary meaningfully between venues.

London locations

Where a party is matters more than most organisers expect. Almost every London shared party finishes at 12:30am or 1am — past the last mainline services — so the walk to a late-running tube line is worth more than a slightly better theme.

City of London

Moorgate

2 parties

Two very different parties within a few minutes of Moorgate, Liverpool Street and Old Street.

City of London

Monument

1 party

Old Billingsgate's brick vaults on Lower Thames Street, between Monument and Tower Hill.

City of London

Tower Hill

5 parties

The densest cluster on the site — five shared parties across three hotels, all walkable from Tower Hill.

City of London

St Paul's

1 party

A candlelit masquerade ball a few minutes from St Paul's, with five dates.

West End & Central

Russell Square & Bloomsbury

2 parties

A big top and an alpine lodge on Guilford Street — the two lowest starting prices on the site.

West End & Central

Holborn & Covent Garden

1 party

A Grade II* listed Art Deco landmark between Holborn and Covent Garden.

Other London areas

Victoria

2 parties

Live Motown and an interactive game show — the best-connected option for guests heading south or to Gatwick.

Other London areas

North Greenwich

2 parties

An indoor funfair and a five-star Bond ball on the Greenwich Peninsula.

Other London areas

Wapping

1 party

Tobacco Dock's historic warehouse, turned into an immersive circus across several zones.

Other London areas

Battersea

1 party

A large-scale Latin carnival in Battersea Park, with free parking and two Saturday dates.

Other London areas

Syon Park (West London)

1 party

A 007 ball on the Syon House estate — the pick for west London, Heathrow and Thames Valley teams.

Popular 2026 dates

December demand in London concentrates into about six nights. Prices move with it — the same party can be 35% more expensive on the second Friday than on a Wednesday the week after.

What's included

Every party includes a venue, a dinner, entertainment and full production. What separates them is the drinks, and that is where most budgets go wrong.

11 of the 19 parties are all-inclusive — unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks in the ticket, usually 8pm to 12:30am. See which ones. The rest include a reception drink and then either sell a package (£45–£55 + VAT per person, bought for the whole party) or run a cash bar.

Beyond drinks, the useful distinctions are entertainment format and dining format. Some parties run acts between courses so the meal never stalls; others concentrate everything after 10pm. Compare parties with entertainment, with live music and with a DJ.
