Party Venues & Event Spaces for hire in White City

White City fractures into three distinct party territories, each with its own personality and price point. Television Centre rules the premium end, where White City House channels Soho House sophistication through its Studio 8 (200 capacity) and The Broadcaster stacks four floors of possibilities from the Green Room to the Aerial Rooftop.

Westfield London operates as party central for the masses, cramming TOCA Social (1,000 capacity), Puttshack (750 capacity), All Star Lanes (500 capacity) and Vue Cinema (20 screens) into one complex. Then there's White City Place, the business campus that moonlights as an events quarter with Dear Grace (350 capacity) and Scale Space's Arena welcoming corporate celebrations. Understanding these zones helps you match venue atmosphere to your crowd's expectations.

Exhibition White City deserves its own mention as West London's answer to Printworks. This Grade II-listed Victorian engine house beside Westfield handles everything from 780-seat gala dinners to 2,800-person raves across two levels. The First Floor alone spans 825 square metres with that industrial aesthetic event producers dream about.

What sets Exhibition apart isn't just scale but infrastructure: proper loading bays, production offices, and technical specifications that support festival-level sound and lighting. Broadwick (the Printworks people) operate it, bringing that same attention to detail. Hire fees start from £20,000 for the First Floor, but when you need to impress 1,000+ guests in West London, nothing else comes close. The venue regularly hosts fashion shows, award ceremonies and brand experiences that would normally require Excel or Olympia.

White City wrote the playbook for activity-based parties, concentrating more competitive socialising venues per square metre than anywhere in London. TOCA Social just launched with football-powered gaming across two 'wings' handling 300 guests each. Puttshack revolutionised crazy golf with automatic scoring across four courses, while All Star Lanes adds the Midnight Lounge private suite with its own lanes and karaoke.

The genius lies in scalability: book a couple of lanes for 20 people or take over entire venues for 750. Sixes Social Cricket brings batting nets to Westfield with full venue capacity around 270. These venues solve the eternal party problem of what to do between arrival drinks and dancing, giving guests permission to compete, laugh and bond over shared activities. Most offer packages from £35-75 per person including games, food and drinks.

Despite its industrial heritage, White City surprises with outdoor party spaces that actually function year-round. The Broadcaster's Aerial Rooftop leads the charge, wrapping heating and retractable covers around its fourth-floor terrace overlooking the Television Centre development. Its 170-person capacity hits the sweet spot for corporate summers and winter parties alike.

Scale Space adds the Terrace with skyline views for 70 guests at the Imperial campus, while Dear Grace spills onto White City Place's plaza with space for 115 outside. The sleeper hit: White City Warehouse on Wood Lane includes its own private outdoor park alongside 4,100 sq ft of raw indoor space, perfect for festival-style parties. Even Kricket manages a leafy terrace at Television Centre for intimate gatherings.

White City's screening options range from plush to mega-scale. Electric Cinema within White City House offers three Dolby Atmos screens with armchair seating and waiter service for up to 116 guests total. It's properly luxurious: think velvet, cocktails and the option to add lobby receptions.

Vue Westfield scales things up with 20 screens including the Xtreme auditorium seating 447. They've embraced gaming tournaments and live sports screenings alongside traditional film premieres. White City House adds two more screening rooms (31-46 seats) for intimate presentations. The wildcard: The Studio at White City Place combines LED walls with theatre lighting for 98 guests, bridging the gap between cinema and presentation space. Most venues offer packages from £30 per person, though exclusive hire of Electric Cinema runs considerably higher.

Television Centre and Westfield assembled an unexpected roster of restaurants offering private party spaces. Sticks'n'Sushi reserves its entire first floor for groups up to 70, adding sushi masterclasses as entertainment. Wahaca brings Mexican energy to the Southern Terrace with full restaurant takeovers possible.

The Real Greek handles big family-style parties with sharing menus, while Kricket offers its modern Indian menu for groups (booking larger parties directly). Westwood Sports Pub provides the casual option with exclusive hire for 250 guests and a sports lounge for 30. These restaurants solve catering headaches for party planners, delivering tested menus with built-in service. Minimum spends typically run £2,000-8,000 depending on day and season, considerably less than bringing external caterers to blank-canvas venues.

For complete creative control, White City offers surprising blank-canvas options. White City Warehouse at 62 Wood Lane provides 4,100 sq ft of raw space plus outdoor areas, with hire from £1,500 per day. The former petrol station site has alcohol licensing until midnight (extendable) and handles 450 standing.

The Studio Space at Television Centre offers two ground-floor studios with mirrors, rigging points and adjustable lighting from £60 per hour. Scale Space provides more polished blank canvases with their Arena (160 capacity) and Stadium (120 capacity) including AV infrastructure. Even QPR's stadium opens its hospitality spaces for non-matchday parties, with bars handling 150-200 guests. These venues suit production companies and event agencies who bring their own vision, though remember to factor in everything from security to toilets in your budget.

White City's three-station setup requires strategic thinking for party logistics. Wood Lane (Circle/Hammersmith & City) serves Television Centre and Westfield's northern entrance, putting you 2-3 minutes from The Broadcaster and White City House. White City station (Central line) works better for Exhibition White City and the Wood Lane venues.

Shepherd's Bush stations (Central/Overground) add backup options 8-10 minutes' walk away. For late parties, remember the Central line runs until 00:30, while night buses converge at Shepherd's Bush Green. Westfield's 4,500-space car park stays open until 00:00 (later by arrangement), crucial for equipment access. Smart planners book venue tours via different stations to understand genuine walking times, especially in heels or rain. Include transport info on invitations specifying the best station for your chosen venue.

White City's booking calendar follows distinct patterns worth understanding. September through November sees media companies flooding Television Centre venues for launch parties and awards ceremonies. Exhibition White City hosts major brand experiences during London Fashion Week and Frieze.

December belongs to competitive socialising venues, with Puttshack, All Star Lanes and TOCA Social running back-to-back corporate parties from late November. January-February offers genuine bargains, with venues dropping minimum spends by 30-40%. Summer shifts focus to rooftops and terraces, though The Broadcaster's Aerial rooftop books solid through winter thanks to heating and covers. The sweet spot for negotiations: Tuesday and Wednesday bookings, Sunday daytime slots, and that golden window of late January through March when venues need to hit quarterly targets.

White City's concentrated geography enables ambitious multi-venue parties that would prove impossible elsewhere. Start with welcome drinks at Dear Grace (350 capacity), move to Vue Cinema for a private screening (447 seats available), then progress to TOCA Social for competitive gaming and dancing (1,000 capacity).

Television Centre venues sit close enough for genuine venue-hopping: begin at Kricket for dinner, shift to Electric Cinema for entertainment, finish at The Broadcaster's rooftop. Westfield's internal layout means guests can move between All Star Lanes, Puttshack and Sixes without facing weather. Key to success: appointing venue coordinators at each location, creating clear timings, and potentially hiring guides for transitions. Most venues will coordinate on logistics, especially within the same building complex.
