No90 Venue Hire Spaces
Industrial style meets festive creativity
Set on the Hackney Wick canal (like hello, it’s already iconic), No90 Spaces has very much earned its reputation as a creative and artistic space blending industrial design with community-driven motives. This season, it’s all about festive magic with an East London twist.
No90 brings that perfect mix of raw style and warm holiday spirit with three different spaces: the immersive 90HideOut, the light-filled 90Lock, and the vibrant No90 Bar.
90HideOut
90HideOut is a large, immersive space featuring state-of-the-art 360° projection mapping technology that transforms every wall into a dynamic visual canvas (what a freakin’ cool way to introduce a space, am I right?). Clients can project anything from ambient landscapes to cinematic worlds, and whether you’re hosting a futuristic product launch, a corporate Christmas dinner, the HideOut is an absolutely incredible way to ensure that guests have the most unforgettable experience.
90Lock
90Lock is a space offering soaring ceilings, a mezzanine balcony overlooking the main room, and huge windows that flood the space with natural light, making it perfect for those who want their event to really pack a punch.
The Lock offers blackout options for AV-heavy events, alongside a high-spec sound system and audio-responsive lighting that brings energy and unforgettableness to any occasion. You can transform it from an elegant dinner to a full-on Christmas dance floor in no time. Pair it with the HideOut for a seamless flow between spaces and double the celebration.
No90 Bar
Find the creative essence of the space all captured within this one venue. It’s warm, vibrant, and distinctly East London, and comes with a giant disco ball (because no Christmas is complete without one).
Featuring two bars (fully stocked, of course), a built-in kitchen with everything you could possibly need, access to the nicest terrace, a DJ booth, and even Photo Booth facilities.
EARLY BIRD CHRISTMAS OFFER: Enjoy 10% off your total booking, a complimentary glass of Prosecco for all guests upon arrival, and an upgraded dessert platter with every seated menu booking.
Shoreditch Town Hall
Where history meets creativity and London attitude
Shoreditch Town Hall is a little slice of London history. Once one of the grandest civic buildings in the city (and that’s really saying something!) this magnificent Grade II-listed venue now stands as a hub for arts, culture, and, of course, unforgettable celebrations. Inside, you’ll find eight magnificent spaces; from the grand Assembly Hall with its sweeping balconies and period detailing, to intimate meeting rooms and contemporary studios. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
If you want a Christmas party that feels a little bit cultured, a little bit cool, and completely East London, this is it.
Bishopsgate Institute
Historic grandeur meets dance-floor energy
If you’re after a venue that’ll have guests walking in with wide eyes and walking out still talking about it weeks later, Bishopsgate Institute’s Great Hall more than delivers.
Just two minutes from Liverpool Street Station, this gem brings parquet floors, sweeping balconies, and architectural details that nod to both Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts design movements.
The Great Hall itself is a real stunner; spacious enough for large receptions, award ceremonies, or Christmas galas, and fully equipped with a stage, lighting rig, and full AV setup. There’s even a private Green Room tucked away for performers or VIPs.
Christ Church Spitalfields
Where baroque beauty meets big London energy.
If you’re looking to throw a Christmas party with real damn, I need to get this on Instagram IMMEDIATELY factor, it doesn’t get more spectacular than the one, the only, Christ Church Spitalfields. Designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1729, this Baroque masterpiece sits right on the edge of the City and is easily one of London’s most iconic settings.
There’s the Nave, which offers a vast, light-filled hall framed by clerestory windows, mezzanine galleries, and elegant Tuscan columns, and the Crypt, which despite its name is surprisingly bright and contemporary, with original stonework, light oak panelling, and soundproof walls.
Old St. Records
Vintage vinyl vibes and Shoreditch energy
Located in the beating heart of Shoreditch, Old St. Records is a venue that embodies the very energy of East London. Known for its live music and impeccable cocktails (believe me, I know), this venue offers a vibrant personality with spirited charm.
Spread over two versatile floors, the ground floor’s open-plan design and lively bar makes it the perfect setting for mingling, live performances, and post-dinner dancing, whereas upstairs, the mezzanine space provides a more intimate setting.
The sound system is, of course, simply made for music, with a fantastic sound system for quality live performances and DJ sets. Time to put the record on and dance Sevillanas (just me?) with a beautiful backdrop of exposed brickwork, neon accents, and vintage record details.
How to Choose the Perfect Venue For Xmas
When selecting a venue for your Christmas party, be sure to keep these practical factors in mind:
1.Size and Capacity: Make sure your guest list fits comfortably (this isn’t the Tube at rush hour). Be sure to always check the seated vs. standing capacities, since a dinner setup takes more space than mingling cocktails (and yes, we have all made that mistake once).
2. Catering and Drinks Packages: Does the venue provide in-house catering or external options? Are there vegan or halal alternatives for clients who may potentially have dietary restrictions or preferences? Make sure to do your research beforehand, and then go for the yummiest (imo).
3. Transport Links: Good transport is crucial – especially in winter when the last thing you want is a guest losing a finger or two due to frostbite. East London is generally well-served, but check how easy it is for guests to get there by Tube, train, night bus, or even cycling.
4. Accessibility and Amenities: Ensure the venue accommodates everyone. Many East London venues now prioritise accessibility, but still be sure to check in advance whether there are lifts or ramps, and where cloakrooms or quiet rooms are.
5. Budget Considerations: Finally, match the venue to your budget; budget comes first, event venue comes second. Don’t forget to account for VAT and any service charges.
