One of the newest and most exciting meeting and event spaces in London, yet it’s only going to be on the market as an event venue until the end of 2012, so if you want to use it, there is not that long to go.

With stunning views of the London skyline and located on the 2^nd Floor of the iconic Oxo Tower on the south bank, OXO2 is a blank canvas space which lends itself to literally any type of function, by day and night. Capacities are 2 x 100 for meetings, 180 for a dinner dance and 400 for a standing reception.

Worth considering for your next high profile event!

Literally cool are belowzero and ICEBAR LONDON in Mayfair, where you can book up to 60 guests for an exclusive 40-minute pre-dinner drinks slot in the subzero  ICEBAR, the only 100% ice-venue in the whole of the UK, followed by a private dinner in belowzero’s Moose Dining Room, which seats up to 75. There’s also a terrace, which is an alfresco option for when the weather’s being kind to us.

Regent Street’s Cocoon’s also cool, but in a different sense – it’s chic, it’s stylish and it’s very exclusive. The food is pan Asian and the décor’s just amazing! The layout is in six individual ‘cocoon pods’ which take about 25-30 diners in each, but can be interlinked to take larger numbers. If booked exclusively, the whole venue can take up to 180 for a seated dinner, or 400 for a standing reception.

By contrast, Shaka Zulu is so cool, that it’s sizzling! Brand new last year, it’s a stunning South African venue in Camden’s Stables Market. It bills itself as a ‘Theatre of Food & Drink’, it’s chock full of authentic Zulu-inspired décor and artefacts and it cooks up some of the finest South African cuisine you’ll find this side of Jo’burg! There’s also nightly live entertainment, with dancing until 2am, so it’s a good one to consider for a party atmosphere with a difference.
