The easiest place to start is to work out what budget you have available per person and overall, as this will help you to consider what you can spend up to.

What Day Of The Week Works Best For A London Christmas Party?

This all depends on how flexible you can be.

As long as you contact as soon as possible, you should be able to get a date of choice, but many brands have stated in the past that Thursday worked best for them, as it is often easier to book, but still near the weekend. Considering a lot of the venues are hotels, they are often heavily booked up for Saturday nights, but again this all falls down to the individual hotel and you should enquire as early as you can to ensure you get the booking.
