London is an iconic city to visit and should be on everyone’s bucketlist to see it at least once. I am fortunate to be able to live so close to it but far enough not to be distracted by its business. We all know London like other major cities is an expensive city and for the most part with good reason. When thinking about things to do in London, you could cruise on the Thames and see many sites. Or you could just take some town and explore the city on foot with no expenses. But what if you’re looking to host a party or better yet find a venue affordable for your budget? There are many venues that many people didn’t know can be hired, for the right price.
On the blog I will share which are budget friendly and which are {or you can “go out to town with“} expensive. Whilst some of these might be expensive it does depend on what you want to get out of your venue.
Budget Friendly London Venues
The Driver, an elegant boutique boasting three floors and a roof terrace to open budget friendly venues. The venue can hold up to a 100 people depending on the chosen space with the roof terrace holding up to 30 people. Depending on which floor you hire, there is a £250+ deposit (info accurate on date of this post). Having read through the reviews The Driver seems like an amazing place to hire for private events such as birthdays.
Whilst the Maker Wharf caters more to businesses small and large, it does have an awesome events hall which is spacious and has high ceilings. The space can be transformed into the event you desire but only offers 60 chairs and 10 tables. Definitely consider this divest venue for your next business conference or even wedding reception.
Expensive Exceptional London Venues
Now when you want to go all out and find the perfect venue for your next milestone celebration {wedding} then think Ultimate Experience. I think every milestone should be celebrated in style, either go big or go home {I like home too} and live a little. Whilst the weather is not currently pleasant, thinking about summer party venues in london might cheer you up. I know I love nothing more than attending parties especially summer parties because everything is just perfect.
The Foundling Museum is definitely an exceptional London venue because it offers something different to others. You don’t only get to experience an awesome place in the museum but can also check out the art galleries. It’s a haven for art lovers or those wishing to embrace the philanthropist life of The Foundling Museum.
Which venue or service would you consider hiring?

The Driver looks like an incredible venue. I would love to host a party at their roof terrace, overlooking the city.

Thanks for the information. I always thought you need a ton of money to visit London, but it is not true! There are budget friendly venues to stay and / or hold a party in without breaking the bank.

My cousin lives in London. I am sure he knows about these places, he’s just not telling me. Haha. Anyway, thanks for the information. It lifted the stigma of London being expensive.

Oh I bet it is amazing getting to set up your own even in the big city! These sound like some great venues as well to look into using.

Jeanette says
At some point I would love to go check out London. My sister-in-law does a lot with weddings and she travels quite a bit so I will have to tell her about these venues in London.
Amber says
How cool! I’d want to do that cruise on the Thames. It sounds wonderful.
Geekdad248 says
I’ve always wanted to fly across the pond and visit London. My wife went before we met and doesn’t want to go back so I don’t know if that will ever be a reality though. Being able to plan out an economical trip might help my case.
tinagleisner says
This is great because you otherwise, would only learn about these places through event planners. So I’m wondering if going directly makes these places more affordable. I’m supposed to go to London for a wedding next year & their goal is for us to stay in a castle … so rather curious about all this.
Robin Rue says
These are all so beautiful. It is super helpful for people in Europe to know their options if they want to rent one of these out.
Candy Kage says
The venues look beautiful and the tables are beautiful. Since I live in the United States I won’t be using these, but for anyone else living in London they have some great choices.
