Christmas Party London Bridge
Office parties, team nights and festive karaoke, five minutes from London Bridge station
The Old School Yard does Christmas the way a Christmas party should be done: a cocktail bar under the lights, a heated terrace for the smokers, and five private karaoke rooms upstairs for the moment the office finally sings. Book a room for the team, hire an area for the whole department, or take the venue for the night.
December is our busiest month and the rooms go early. The booking panel on this page shows live availability, so you can see your date before anyone has to ask the boss.
- Christmas karaoke rooms Five private rooms for 2 to 20 people, no hire fee, thousands of songs including every Christmas number one.
- Area hire for 30+ Your own section of the bar for groups of 30 to 150, on a minimum spend rather than a fee.
- Exclusive hire The whole venue for 50 to 250 guests. Enquire and we build the night around you.
- Free tables Groups of 4 or more can book a table for nothing and keep it until close.
Office Christmas Party London Bridge
The office Christmas party that nobody has to organise. Pick a date, book a karaoke room for the two hours when everyone is warmed up, and reserve a free table in the bar for before and after. Set up a bar tab or let people buy their own; either way everything bought counts towards the room's minimum spend. Bar food from SMOK'D can be pre-ordered for the group.
Bigger team? Area hire gives thirty to a hundred and fifty people their own corner of the bar with the atmosphere of a full room around them. Bigger still, and exclusive hire makes the whole venue your office party.

Christmas party FAQs
How early should we book a Christmas party?
As early as you can. December Fridays and Saturdays go first, then Thursdays. Karaoke rooms and tables can be booked online right up to the day if there is space. Area hire: Book a dedicated area or the whole venue for groups of 30–200. Available with 1 week's notice. Minimum spend from £450. Exclusive hire: Hire the entire venue for your event. Minimum 50 guests, up to 400. Requires 14 days advance notice.
What does a karaoke room cost in December?
There is no hire fee. December rooms carry a minimum spend on drinks of £200 for up to eight guests and £250–£300 for nine or more, per two-hour session. Everything the group buys at the bar or from the room screen counts.
What is the cancellation policy in December?
Karaoke rooms:
- If you cancel within 7 days of your booking, we keep 100%.
- Cancel earlier than that and there is no charge.
Tables:
- Booking a table is free - if your plans change, just let us know you can't make it so we can free up the space.
- In December: if you cancel within 7 days of your booking, we keep 100%.
- Let us know any time and you can cancel for free. December bookings are different — see above. If you don't turn up and haven't told us, we reserve the right to charge.
Can we do a cocktail masterclass for our Christmas party?
Not in December, when the bar is too busy to run classes. Book a masterclass in January instead, or make the karaoke room the main event.
Can we bring decorations or a cake?
Ask us when you book and we will tell you what works in the space. Bar food from SMOK'D can be pre-ordered for the group.
Is there an age limit?
The venue is over 18s in the evening. Bring ID.
