Somewhere between London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, Christmas gets a little magic
Every December, London does the same thing. The lights go up, the diary fills, and someone in the group chat says, "Right, we really need to sort the Christmas plans." Then nobody does.
Consider this your nudge. At The Last Talisman, our festive season is built around bold Asian flavours, handcrafted cocktails and the warm glow of candlelight. It might be a long lunch that drifts into the afternoon, a dinner that lingers well into the night, or a party that takes over the whole venue.
Whatever brings your people together this year, we'll set the scene and keep the enchantment flowing.
Lunch by daylight, dinner by candlelight
The long lunch: Picture sharing plates, seasonal cocktails and a table with absolutely no intention of leaving. Christmas lunch at The Last Talisman stretches lazily into the afternoon, and right now it comes with no minimum spend and no hire fee, all week.
The candlelit dinner: When the light fades, the room turns golden and the night opens up. Dinner is for the group that wants to linger, and dinner bookings from Sunday to Tuesday also come with no minimum spend and no hire fee.
That's good news for whoever has been handed the job of organising. Skip the stress of hitting a spend target and put the budget where it belongs: great food, good drinks and the people you actually want to spend December with.
Find the perfect room for your crew
No two Christmas parties are the same size, so we've built the venue to flex. Our private and semi-private spaces keep the magic yours, whether you're a table of ten or a company of ninety.
The Private Zen Den: intimate and fully private, for up to 20 seated or 25 standing. Ideal for close-knit teams and a more personal festive dinner.
The Chef's Room: a semi-private space for up to 30 seated, with a closer view of the kitchen at work.
The Mezzanine: a semi-private space overlooking the venue, for up to 30 standing. Made for drinks receptions and lively standing parties.
Mala Madre: our largest event space, holding up to 60 seated or 90 standing. Built for bigger office parties and full-scale celebrations.
Bold flavours, made for sharing
Our 2026 festive menus are here, and they're everything The Last Talisman is known for: bold Asian flavours and vibrant sharing plates, built for passing across the table, arguing over the last bite and ordering again.
It's Christmas feasting without the formality. No one is stuck with one plate and a polite smile, because everything lands in the middle for the whole table to dig into.
Pair it with our Christmas cocktail menu of handcrafted serves, and you have the makings of a proper celebration. See the Christmas menu 2026 before you book.
Going big? Take the whole place
For companies that want to make an impression this Christmas, we offer exclusive hire of the entire venue: up to 300 guests standing or 135 seated. It suits corporate parties, networking events, brand launches and private receptions, with immersive interiors, premium cocktails and flexible layouts.
From branded receptions and entertainment to private dining and late-night celebrations, our team works closely with every organiser to build an event that feels seamless from start to finish.
