Top Features to Look for in a Private Party Space
Here are the top features to look for when searching for your ideal event location. A stunning private space like Traditional London Pub w/ Roof Terrace & Private Room is just the ticket.
Look for atmosphere. The right private hire location for you is one that has the desired ambience for your event—whatever that may be. A London venue, for example, may have a touristic vibe, with gorgeous backdrops of some of your favourite attractions in the city. Looking for a roof terrace? Try Primrose Hill.
Work with a helpful host. Having a helpful venue owner in your corner can make a massive difference to how simple and stress-free it is to plan your event. If you're tossing it up between two venues, go for the one with the most helpful and responsive owner.
Location is key. Whether you're in central London or further afield, top party venues in London boast a central location close to public transportation. You'll find private spaces to enjoy a sit down meal near the Tube, combining food and easy transit.
What about price? Your perfect venue will, of course, also fit well within your budget, so use our search filters to narrow down the results to event spaces you can afford.

Booking a private party in an expensive city can be pricey, so make sure to leave plenty of room in the budget to cover event planning costs.

Planning Your Private Party
From central London to West London, South London, and right across the city, no matter where your event venue is located, there are a lot of hoops you need to jump through to plan a memorable party. Keep the following steps in mind during the event planning process.
Choose an Experience – A birthday party will often call for a very different vibe from a corporate party, so make sure you have a clear vision of the sort of experience you want to provide to your guests.
Calculate Your Budget – Set yourself a realistic spending limit for the event, as throwing out an overly ambitious target is just setting yourself up to fail.
Choose an Event Space – Compare private party venues in London on the Giggster app to find your perfect space. Whatever key features you desire—an experienced venue manager, delicious food in-house, ping pong tables, the ability to hire out the whole venue, special party packages, a private room, a karaoke room, private cocktail bars, a dance floor, a rooftop terrace, or anything else—shop around for a space with all your must-haves.
Sort Food and Drinks – Work with the venue owner or your catering or bartending company to customise food and drinks menus. Craft beers, classic cocktails, and bottles of bubbles will all go down a treat.
Arrange Entertainment – If you want live music, a DJ, interactive games, or any other entertainment, make the necessary bookings now. Many venues allow for the renter's own music to be set up, for instance; equipment hire, in that case, is necessary for the DJ.
Saving Money on a Private Party
Stick to a budget when planning your next social or corporate event by following these simple tips.
Make a thorough budget.
Are you remembering every aspect of organising a memorable party? Be detailed when putting together your budget to make sure you include all potential costs.
Compare party venues.
Compare venues to find the most affordable choices—did you know that you can book private party venues on the Giggster app for as little as £13/hour? From rooftop bars to modern homes with inviting terraces, we have a bevy of spectacular places available as venue hire.
Prioritise important expenses.
Which of your expenses are crucial to the success of your event, and which are not so essential? Answering this question will help you work out where to cut costs. Is decor something you can cut back on? Look at the venue and see if their ambience will do the trick, removing the need for decor additions.
