The top exclusive New Year's Eve party venues in London

Thirteen, located in Chateau Denmark on Denmark Street, just around the corner from Tottenham Court Road, operates as a cocktail bar known for its bespoke cocktails and Japanese-inspired small plates, but what only a select few know is that Thirteen has a basement cocktail bar known as Dial8. It's decadent, lush, and dark, dimly lit with a half-moon bar, plush sofas, and armchairs. With a capacity of 50 standing, Dial8 is a central, gothic, and elegant setting for an exclusive New Year's Eve party in London.

The Patio London is a five-storey events venue, bar, and restaurant equidistant to Farringdon and Barbican stations. The focus is on community, contemporary Nigerian cuisine, and hospitality across its multiple floors. It's well known and loved for its cuisine, Rhythm & Wine Thursdays (wine & jazz!), and offering the exclusive hire of individual floors for events and parties. The interior is modern and chic with different spaces adhering to different colour themes. We highly recommend the Isale Eko bar/club space with a capacity of 80 for an exclusive New Year's Eve party, but The Patio is the gift that keeps on giving and you can't go wrong with hiring any of its spaces (or entire floors!) for your New Year's Eve bash.

If you're looking to bring in the new year in relaxed and cosy style, the cocktail bar at Bantof – bar, restaurant, and art space – is our top-tier recommendation. Located on Great Windmill Street and only moments from Piccadilly Circus station, it doesn't get much central than this.

You can exclusive hire the ground-floor Cocktail Room that can accommodate 25 seated and 40 standing for a top-notch Soho private dining experience and cocktails. The menu here features classic cocktails as well as signature cocktails that embody the character of Soho. Great good and great drinks with great company – that's the way to bring the new year in.

Mestizo Chelsea is a restaurant and margarita bar on the Kings Road, but we're interested in its basement speakeasy bar. With a capacity for 100 standing guests or 40 seated, Mestizo offers a tailor-made events experience, able to transform the basement space in decor, furnishings, and ambiance to create the perfect party venue for your New Year's Eve celebrations. Plus, the margaritas are divine. Pass over central London this New Year's and head on west to Chelsea for an exclusive celebration.
