The Urban Funfair shared Christmas party at Magazine London brings together a lively indoor fairground setting with a structured, all-inclusive format that’s easy to manage.

Your evening starts with a drinks reception in a space that feels more like a modern carnival than a traditional venue. As your guests arrive, they’ll step into a vibrant fairground environment, with a central carousel-style bar, dodgems and immersive lighting creating a busy, social atmosphere straight away. From there, you’ll move into the main dining space, where large windows frame views across the Thames and Canary Wharf skyline. A seated dinner is served with drinks alongside, giving the night a clear midpoint before things open up again.

After dinner, the focus shifts back to the funfair. Guests can head straight to the dancefloor as the DJ takes over, or move between different areas of the venue, from the rides and bars to more relaxed spaces. The layout works well for mixed groups, as people aren’t tied to one part of the evening. Some will stay on the dancefloor, others will head back to the dodgems or explore the fairground elements, so the energy stays consistent without relying on a single activity.

Magazine London, located on the Greenwich Peninsula, is one of the capital’s more contemporary large-scale event venues. The space is split across multiple areas, combining a high-spec dining room with panoramic river views and a separate fairground zone, which helps the event feel varied rather than repetitive. It’s well connected, with North Greenwich around eight minutes away and London Bridge reachable in around twenty minutes, making it accessible for teams travelling across the city.
