L’oscar offers Christmas celebrations within a truly historic and distinctive setting; a former Baptist church transformed into a five-star hotel that celebrates theatrical design, craftsmanship, and storytelling. The venue’s Baroque-inspired interiors, dramatic architecture, and rich detailing create an immediate sense of occasion, making it a natural choice for festive events with character and depth.

What makes L’oscar unique is the way history and contemporary luxury coexist. The building’s heritage provides gravitas and meaning, while bold design and impeccable service ensure the experience feels modern, indulgent, and alive. Hosting a Christmas event here feels immersive and memorable, offering guests something far beyond a traditional festive venue.

The festive atmosphere at L’oscar is created through a careful balance of warmth, drama, and refinement. Seasonal décor is layered thoughtfully into the existing interiors, luxurious garlands, soft candlelight, and elegant festive accents that enhance rather than overpower the space. Lighting is key, with warm tones used to highlight architectural features and create an intimate, celebratory glow throughout the venue.

Playlists, live performances, and speeches are supported by a high-quality sound system that create atmosphere. The overall vibe is one of festive elegance.

We are proud to take sustainability seriously. Our festive celebrations follow eco-conscious practices, including composting food waste, offering vegan menus, using energy-efficient systems, and ensuring zero single-use plastics in guest areas. Our housekeeping uses only eco-friendly products, and guests are encouraged to reuse linens and towels. We hire locally, train our staff in sustainability best practices, and actively support charitable initiatives within our community. Creating a magical festive experience and leaving a positive impact go hand in hand at L’oscar London.

Our festive menus are crafted with seasonality at their core, celebrating the finest local produce and elevating every bite into a moment worth remembering. Whether it’s an elegant three-course dinner, a vibrant standing reception, or a late-night snack offering, our culinary team delivers with flair and precision.

Guests can choose from a wide range of festive catering options: savoury and sweet canapés, bowl foods ideal for social settings, or refined plated menus for more formal occasions. Each menu is tailored to suit the tone of the event, whether classic or contemporary, always with an eye to freshness and quality.

Our drinks offering is equally versatile. From curated wine pairings and signature cocktails to a full bar of premium spirits and festive favourites, we offer our clients the flexibility to bring their vision to life. We work closely with each client to ensure their catering reflects not just the season, but their style.

Our goal is simple: to provide a food and drink experience that leaves a lasting impression long after the last glass is raised.
