An architectural showcase of etched glass and portland stone carvings, the Grade II-listed home of the Royal Institute of British Architects makes a striking setting for Christmas parties. Standout spaces include Florence Hall – a light-filled centrepoint with floor-to-ceiling windows – and the smaller Aston Webb Room, which benefits from leather-lined walls for cosy winter dinners. Up on the top floor, the Wren Room is graced with brilliant views across the capital. Each space can be paired with a seasonal menu, fine wines and festive entertainment. All profits from events go to the RIBA charity, which supports British architectural talents.

    Spectacular building for RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, designed by Grey Wornum (1888-1957). The building is reminiscent of the Stockholm Public Library by Gunnar Asplund (1885-1940) in a subdued neoclassical style.
