## **🥂 Small & Intimate Christmas Venues**

Not every party needs to be big. Smaller venues can create a more personal, curated experience for teams of 10–60. Here’s where to host a cosy but unforgettable night:

**What to Ask Before Booking:**

- Does the venue size match your guest list?
- Is catering in-house or BYO?
- What’s the AV setup for speeches or music?
- Are decorations included?
- Is the location easy to reach?

### [**Skylon, River View**](https://www.venuescanner.com/waterloo-underground-station/skylon/river-view?location=london)

Skylon should be at the top of your list if you’re all about impressing with a view. Located on the first floor of the Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre, it offers breathtaking views through its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Thames.
