Finding that middle ground between no-frills watering hole and super-slick (also super-expensive) bar when looking to house your party is a fine art. Which is why wonderfully ornate west London pub Paradise by Way of Kensal Green is a blessing. There are numerous private rooms – all with their own unique, shabby chic décor – varying in size and suitable for any occasion, from a birthday get-together to private dinner party to wedding reception. Rooms are equipped variously with iPod docks and a full-on soundsystem with DJ booth and projector for larger events.
Hire cost £0-£2,000 minimum spend depending on room. 19 Kilburn Lane, W10 4AE. 020 7401 8865. www.theparadise.co.uk. Nearest transport: Kensal Green tube.
Parties: generally a hell of a lot of fun. Finding a suitable venue for said party: a lot less fun and definitely not easy – until now. We ease your booking burden by picking a range of London venues to suit any kind of bash (and budget), from an office party to kids’ birthdays to an all-night dancefloor marathon.
