The View London

Celebrate the festive season in the historic surrounds of The Lumley Library, one of London’s most atmospheric Christmas party spaces. Set on the first floor of The View, this remarkable space combines the grandeur of a working library with the warmth and sparkle of the season. Surrounded by leather-bound volumes, beneath ornate ceilings, and framed by the soft glow of festive lighting, it’s a setting that feels both intimate and unforgettable.

On arrival, guests are greeted with a seasonal cocktail and light festive nibbles, setting the tone for an evening of celebration. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree and carefully designed winter theming add to the charm, creating an atmosphere that feels like stepping straight into the pages of a Dickens novel.

Two distinct ways to celebrate are available. A traditional Christmas dinner party brings guests together for a three-course festive menu paired with wine, perfect for a seated celebration of up to 90 people. For those who prefer something more relaxed, an elegant reception-style event offers flowing drinks, a tempting selection of nibbles and owls, and space to mingle beneath the Library’s enchanting décor. With capacity for up to 150 standing guests, it’s an ideal choice for festive receptions and lively social gatherings.

Whether hosting colleagues, clients, or friends, The Lumley Library offers a Christmas party experience filled with heritage, atmosphere, and seasonal sparkle, right in the heart of London.
