It’s that time of year again. The team is waiting with bated breath for the announcement of the work Christmas party. Will it be cocktails and canapés? Or dinner and dancing? Well, why not make it an extra special affair for 2025 and book yours with Smart Parties, guaranteeing an unforgettable evening of festive celebrations at Evolution London.

London’s leading event and venue specialist, Smart Parties is your answer to seamless party planning that comes with all the frills and sparkle as standard. This year, it’s bringing the glitz and glamour of the Big Apple to Evolution London with its new Christmas party theme, New York, New York 2025. Situated in the heart of Battersea Park, lined with snowy trees and twinkling lights, guests are invited to step straight into the iconic cityscape of one of the world’s most charming destinations, some 3,000 miles away.

From the moment you arrive, the fun begins with suave bellhops escorting you into a lobby styled after the grandeur of New York’s finest hotels. Stash your coat in the cloakroom and let your sparkly LBD or velvet suit do the talking as you head into a spectacular recreation of Manhattan’s grand avenues. Mixing subway scenes and streetside graffiti with the glamour of Broadway and nods to Central Park, you’ll be completely immersed until the end of the night. 

Get the party started with a tipple at one of the themed bars, whether that’s the 1920s-style speakeasy or chic cocktail lounge shaking up signature drinks, including Manhattans and Cosmopolitans, naturally. American-inspired canapés, like reuben cheese and beef toasties and mini calzone pizzas, will whet appetites for an indulgent three-course menu, provided by Moving Venue caterers, served under the ballroom’s glowing cabaret lights. There will be live music and sensational entertainment throughout, plus a magnificent light show. Then it’s time to hit the dance floor – or the dodgems.

With music all night long, flowing drinks, a stunning New York theme and guaranteed merriment, Smart Parties is truly pulling out all the stops this festive period. Whether opting for exclusive hire (with capacity for up to 4,000 standing guests or 2,000 seated) or joining a shared party night throughout November and December, make this year’s Christmas party one to remember (and the talk of the office for months to come).
