London is one of the top locations to host an event. and it was found in a recent study that London venues increased the number of events they ran by a whopping 231% when comparing September 2021 to August 2021. There were an average of 12.6 events per London venue in September, showing an incline that isn’t expected to level out – or reduce, any time soon. If you are thinking about where to host your next corporate event, London is a clear choice. Here we take a look at why this is and how to make it a success.
Whether your business is based in London, your main clientele are here or you want to host an event somewhere that really has the wow factor, London is an ideal choice. These are just a few reasons why:
If you’re looking to throw a successful event in London, it’s important to consider every aspect of it to make sure it goes as planned. Events take a lot of preparation and groundwork to ensure they run smoothly, so make sure you consider the following:
When throwing an event in London, you need to live up to the hype of the big city. You are in one of the most technologically advanced cities in the world, so why not tap into this? Utilise the power of LED video to really impress your attendees, whether this be with providing high quality backdrops, selling services or showing video snippets of what’s to come. Combine this with lighting and sound effects and you’ll be surprised just how drastically your venue can transform. Keep in mind that LED screens can be used both indoors and outdoors so no matter the type of venue you opt for, you won’t have to miss out.
As said above, London is one of the event capitals of the world and as such there are a myriad of locations you can choose. To find the perfect one for you, consider the theme of your event. Are you looking for something rustic or modern? Where do you want it to be located? What is your budget? These can also really impact the venues you find. If you want something contemporary and glamorous, consider Searcys in the Gherkin, or if you want something a little more intimate, how about one of the many hotel bars for hire?
With the events industry hotting up more than ever, it’s never been so important to secure your venue sooner rather than later. It’s not uncommon for places to book up months and even years in advance so if you’ve found somewhere you’re set on, don’t delay. You may also find you get a better price by booking further in advance, so it’s always worth asking about this too! As well as your venue, you need to secure your suppliers, entertainment and things such as a photographer too.
Part of throwing a successful event in London is being prepared for all eventualities. Take the weather for example, it could be the height of summer and we may experience pouring rain, or it could be the middle of winter and blazing sunshine. If you’re planning an event outside make sure your equipment is designed to handle this (such as water-resistant LED screens) and that there are enough covers for people to stand under. Having a watertight plan in place means potential problems are much less likely to come into fruition.Â
