2. Bounce Farringdon
Bounce Farringdon takes the prize - or should we say, the paddle - for an unconventional 30th birthday party venue. With its vibrant atmosphere, the Jaques Room is a playground for adults, offering not just ping pong tables but also a state-of-the-art karaoke system for those who want to sing their hearts out - and who doesn't want to belt out the tunes on their birthday?! It's a place where you can unleash your inner child (30 going on 13?) and create memories that are as lively as your ping pong competition is fierce!

3. Lio London
If you're the type who likes your birthday bash with a side of spectacle, Lío London is where you need to be. This place is not just a venue—it's a whole vibe. Imagine celebrating your 30th in a venue that feels like a cabaret, a circus, and a nightclub all rolled into one. Expect jaw-dropping performances and more glitter than you thought possible outside of a Mardi Gras parade. Plus, the food is so good it might make you rethink every meal you've had up until this point. At Lío, your 30th will be the kind of legendary night you'll be talking about until you're 40 (and maybe longer).
Location: Piccadilly Circus
Capacity: 400 people
4. The Oyster Shed
For those who believe that life should be celebrated with a stunning view and a glass of something bubbly, The Oyster Shed is calling your name. Nestled right on the Thames, this venue offers breathtaking river views that might just steal the spotlight from your birthday cake (but only for a second). The vibe here is relaxed yet polished, making it perfect for a gathering that’s equal parts chill and chic. You’re turning 30—time to get fancy, right?

6. Trafalgar St James
The Trafalgar St. James is for those who want their 30th to feel like a night of understated luxury—think more James Bond than an Instagram influencer.

With plush interiors and a cocktail list that’s as sophisticated as your guest list, this is where you go to sip, socialise, and celebrate your way into the next decade.
