Budgeting for a London Christmas party

Nothing quite says Christmas like a Scoorge-like grip on your finances. Okay, so budgeting might not be quite in the spirit of silly season, but a crucial part of party planning is getting your spending watertight so there are no unhappy boxing day surprises. Consider whether your Christmas party is a liquid lunch affair or a full festive banquet. Allocate a spend per person, that way you can maintain control over the macro and micro costs of your event.

Sleighs, skis and snow boots

Getting to and from your London Christmas party shouldn't be a miserly experience. Fortunately, London boasts a fantastic transport system that can get you and your friends or colleagues to and from whatever venue you decide to book. For those coming outside the capital, locate your Christmas bash near a main station, reducing the travel time for inbound guests. The only downside to a London Christmas party is the probable lack of parking – London's busy boroughs are often unforgiving when it comes to spaces, but who wants to drive into their Christmas event, anyway?

FAQs

When should I start planning a Christmas Party?

Simply, the earlier the better. Now, we’re not saying you need to wake up groggily on the 26th of December and start drafting a secret Santa employee map (unless you really want to). But the truth is the best London Christmas party venues will start to take bookings well before the festive season starts in earnest: we recommend starting your search towards the end of summer, no matter how wrong it feels, and that way you’ll ensure you’re on the venue-booking good list.

What is included in a Christmas Party package?

Let’s be honest, though, most London Christmas party venues can do better than that, and you deserve better. Ask the venue if they have a festive menu – lots of venues will get creative with their festive bites, and it can really make your Xmas bash stand out.
