The capital’s new large-scale events venue has been in constructions for months now and is set for completion later this month. The blank canvas, 3,205sqm space has capacity for 3,000 guests, and can extend to accommodate a further 7,000 people across the venue’s outdoor showground.

We’re all familiar with the concept of a work Christmas party - that end of year celebration that marks the start of the festivities. But what about a summer work do? Not many companies throw a mid-year party, but there are a lot of benefits for businesses that do. Boosting team morale, improving working relationships and providing an incentive to encourage good work ethic are just some examples; there’s really no reason not to host one! So, you want to host a summer party for your workforce, but how do you ensure it’s the ultimate celebration? Here’s how:

Sat 500ft above the city’s streets, Landing Forty Two is a one of a kind venue perfect for dinners and celebrations deserving to be hosted in a space that wows. Step inside this incredible venue with panoramic views of London and beyond in this edition of our ‘Inside the Venue’ series.
