When an unusual venue helps
If your team has already done the hotel terrace and the rooftop bar, a venue with a strong theme gives people something to talk about from the moment they arrive. The setting does much of the work, so you can spend less on décor and entertainment.
Settings with a story
Lost In Brixton (600) takes its look from Santiago de Cuba. Glasshaus (150) has clear walls and roof, with side panels that come off on a warm night. ZSL London Zoo (700) sits in 36 acres of gardens. Vinegar Yard (1,000) is an open-air street food space by London Bridge. London City Beach (800) is a pop-up beach on the South Bank with beach huts and games.
Games and small groups
Some of these venues come with something to play. Swingers West End (800) is a crazy golf club and The Bowls Club LDN (650) plays lawn bowls. The summer activities page lists the rest. For a smaller team, Vagabond Shoreditch (65) is a wine bar with a heated roof terrace.
Big spaces
Nine venues here take more than 800. Tobacco Dock holds 2,000. Big Penny Social (1,600) combines three spaces on one exclusive hire. Magazine London (7,000) has its own lighting rig and concert sound. Before you book, ask what the theme leaves you free to change. Some venues come fully dressed, and others are a blank space you fill yourself.
