Looking to inspire companies to hold their Christmas parties in London, the capital’s business tourism marketing agency Visit London has compiled an array of original and unusual packages through collaborations with leading venues.

“London is blessed with fantastic venues and the packages showcase the city’s potential to host spectacular events this Christmas,” said Visit London’s sales manager Zanine Adams. “They take into consideration what people want to do to celebrate the end of a busy year.”

The aim of the initiative is to inspire event planners and leave guests with great memories of what Visit London believes is “one of the most inspirational cities in the world”.

The offers are available through the agency’s website at www.visitlondon.com/business for either private, shared or themed parties. One of the many venues on offer is Cabot Hall – a stylish and modern space suitable for buffets, seated dinners and standing receptions, with tantalising menus, stunning festive decorations, great entertainment and atmospheric lighting.

Another unique venue is the County Hall Gallery – Dalí Universe, with its Salvador Daliesque lounge and dining area. Guests are welcomed by a Salvador Dalí impersonator and treated to cocktails on arrival. They are then led through to the Dining Room, where a live re-enactment of one of the infamous artist’s creations takes place while guests enjoy their sumptuous dinner.
