Top Picks: Luxurious and Unusual Venues For Private Parties
Aug 19th, 2011 by savvyclub
In a recent blog post I suggested some things you might consider if you’re planning your own private party. Today, I thought you might benefit from some insider knowledge on some of the most luxurious and unusual party venues available for hosting private parties:
A Historical Matter: Planning a large but select party for someone with an interest in history? The Imperial War Museum offers the only place in London that can comfortably accommodate your ‘little’ group of up to 1000 guests! You’ll be given a private viewing of the Museum with expert guides before settling down to dinner in this endlessly fascinating venue.
All the World’s a Stage: Shakespeare’s Globe has two relaxing and ambient restaurant spaces available to hire for private parties. The Balcony room and the Underglobe offer two very different atmospheres, but both would be perfect places to enjoy a sumptuous meal before or after watching one of the Bard’s works being performed by some of the finest actors in the world.
A Perfect Hidden Gem: There is an incredible venue inside a beautiful classical building (designed by Inigo Jones) with a ceiling by Rubens right in the heart of the City at Westminster. The Banqueting House is an extraordinary place to visit, let alone party in. It’s ideal for private groups, whether it be a feast for 400 or an intimate cocktail party for a few dozen.
Movie Magic: 195 Piccadilly is the home of BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. If you’re planning a party for film aficionados, there’s no better place this side of Hollywood. Bring up to 200 guests to dine in the David Lean room, before taking them for a private screening of a film of your choice from their archives.
Don’t Be a Dummy: The Blush Room at Madame Tussaud’s is one of the most glamorous upcoming venues in London. Suitable for A-list cocktail parties of up to 1000 people or a sit-down meal for 350,you can hang out with the stars without footing the bills for their riders!
