London Events; New Years Day Parade London

The New Years Day Parade London event encompasses a number of famous London landmarks in its route, including Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. Crowds will line the streets to cheer the parade as it passes in what promises to be a lively, vibrant London event. However, if all that standing around sounds too much like hard work, limited grandstand seating is also available at Whitehall and Piccadilly.

London Events - Londons New Years Eve Fireworks

London’s famous New Years Eve fireworks are back again for another round, and this year’s event will be one to remember. Jaw dropping fireworks are being launched off the 135 metre London Eye, projecting colour and light that can be seen throughout the capital. Take part in the festivities and let your hair down as London lets in 2010.

There are free tube, DLR, tram and bus services from 11.45pm - 4.30pm

London Corporate and Business Events; Choose Your Venue.

There is an increasing move on the part of business and organisations to hold meetings, seminars and recruitment function and events in pleasant impartial surroundings, removed from the place of work.


Your venue should provide a range of dedicated conference and event facilities for major corporate events and small business meetings alike. With private access, state of the art sound and visual equipment for your corporate and business function and facilities to cater any number of delegates, your choice of venue should provide facilities for boardroom meetings, corporate conferences, seminars, product launches, business fayres, VIP hospitality, training courses, team building events and interviews.


Wherever you choose to hold your conference, the venue should be within easy access of all major routes. Perhaps your conference is to be attended by visiting business men and women from this country and abroad. Even if every delegate owns a satnav, ease of finding the hotel at the end of a long drive will have a positive impact on the state of mind. Free on site parking and avoidance of the hassles of paying the fees for the congestion charge will guarantee goodwill. Foreign delegates would appreciate a chauffeur driven airport or train pick up and transfer.


All attendees will appreciate comfortable accommodation with the atmosphere and facilities which are conducive to private preparation and study with internet connectivity a given. A range of menus or refreshments for your business event is important. A choice hot or cold food, finger buffets, working breakfasts, working lunches, or 2 and 3 course menus, to suit your particular event. The provision of vegetarian, halal or kosher menu may be required. Post conference entertainment may be a consideration in the planning of your corporate hospitality.


The choice of venue for your corporate event shows an investment in your team and in turn, can effect a productive and positive approach from them and your business.

Trip Advisor Review for The Palm Hotel

Took a family of four to the Palm Hotel in London and inspite of thinking we had arrived at the wrong place because of the modernization work we will definetly be using this hotel again.

The rooms were spacious and the staff welcoming and very helpfull.

The position of the hotel was perfect for using the public transport system for London and free parking was provided by the hotel that is positioned just outside Londons congestion charge.

HYDE PARK

HYDE PARK

Hyde Park came into existence in 1536 when the land was acquired for hunting purposes. It has developed over the years in response to the wishes of the Crown and the public and has a strong tradition of events and publicspectacles. There are links with the military through the presence of Knightsbridge barracks on its boundary and the continuing practice of firing Gun Salutes from the Parade Ground. The two most famous features of the Park are the Serpentine, a lake of some 11.34 hectares used for swimming, boating and fishing; and Rotten Row, the world famous riding track, which celebrated its tercentenary in 1990 and was the first lit public road to be created in this country. Despite its heavy use the Park manages to convey an air of rural tranquillity much valued by both tourists and local users.
