London is a city for romantics. From its luscious green parks to its royalty-related landmarks and breathtaking buildings and museums, London will always surprise and fascinate even the locals. In fact, many agree with the idea that London is one of the most romantic cities in Europe. That’s why, if you want to have a memorable engagement, besides choosing the right ring, you should book somewhere in London to celebrate your engagement. With this in mind, we’ve put together a few amazing recommendations of fantastic London venues for an engagement party…
Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring
Before you can think about London venues for an engagement party, you need to think about choosing the ring (even if you’re sure your partner will accept your proposal). This piece of jewelry will stay with you, as a couple, for the rest of your lives so you should select a durable gemstone that talks of passion and love
While diamonds are usually the main option for engagement rings, if you want something a bit more unique, rubies are quite popular as well. Plus, if you check Diamondere’s certified collection of engagement ruby rings, you’ll also find items that combine rubies and diamonds in gorgeous, eye-catching designs.
Choosing the Best Venue in London
Given the size and notoriety of London, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a famous entertainment and hospitality brand that’s missing from the scene. In short, you can have your pick – from affordable and cost to exclusive high-end names, everyone is here!
That’s why it can be difficult to choose something that fits your budget and party aspirations. So, to give you a bit of a head start, here are our recommendations:
1. The Walkways at Tower Bridge
It doesn’t get more London-like than that! The two walkways at Tower Bridge can be booked for various events and the price is quite affordable considering the location.
The venue is romantic (you are 40+ meters above the Thames, after all) and you can admire several landmarks such as the Tower of London, the Shard, St Paul’s, or the Docklands. However, it best fits large parties (up to 250 people standing), so if you want something intimate with just friends and family, it won’t work.
2. Holmes Hotel London Roof Terrace
For those of you who want a romantic setting, with a small party (up to 35 people standing), The Roof Terrace at the mezzanine level of Holmes Hotel London may be the perfect venue.
The location is surrounded by beautiful buildings specific to London architecture and features romantic fairy lights, a grass lawn and an archway. Plus, the space can be set up differently if you want a specific colour or table setting.
3. Chotto Matte
Lastly, if you want a modern setting, with easy access to Japanese cuisine, you may want to try one of the newest additions to the London landscape. Chotto Matte is more on the high-end side (it’s located in Marleybone after all), but you are guaranteed premium quality in serving and food.
4. Bokan 37
Bokan 37 is a fantastic location buried in Canary Wharf that’s an ideal choice in our London venues for an engagement party. The bar and restaurant is thoughtfully decorated, with rustic Scandi and subtle industrial vibes. It feels cosy yet undeniably stylish, with plush sofas and chairs to park yourself on with a cocktail in the bar. They have a range of catering options and can work with you to make sure your engagement party in London is the best it can be.
5. Madison
Madison is undeniably suave, luxurious and a perfect place to celebrate your upcoming nuptials. Head six floors above the city where you can enjoy the stylish decor, beautiful views, and decadent cocktails. A favourite London Rooftop Bar, get there in time to take advantage of the walkway which leads up close to St Pauls’s Cathedral which is not only beautiful but also a great photo spot. It’s the perfect place to get those engagement photos!
The Shagri-La in the Shard
The most iconic venue in London, why not celebrate your engagement from one of the highest points in the city? The Shangri-La in the Shard has a number of different venues for celebrations, each as luxurious and beautiful as the last. Their private dining room is an ideal spot if you’re looking for a more intimate dinner with your loved ones. When it comes to London venues for an engagement party, this ticks all the boxes.
Wrap Up
London is the perfect city for an engagement party and there is something for everyone. Whether hosting a party for many, or choosing something more intimate, you’re spoilt for choice.
There’s always something to do during the day, and you’ll never get bored during the night. What are your thoughts on our London venues for an engagement party? Let us know in the comments below!
