On the search for an Airbnb for a birthday party in London? At Peerspace, we get it! “The Big Smoke,” as London is sometimes known, is jam-packed with cool buildings, both historic and modern. Some of these buildings contain unique spaces repurposed to provide you with a stylish and amenity-packed birthday party venue.

Keep reading and we’ll explain how to find an Airbnb for a birthday party in London, helping you understand whether using Airbnb to find this kind of venue makes sense. We’ll also provide three fabulous examples of London-based spaces that you can rent by the hour for a birthday party on Peerspace, the largest digital marketplace for hourly event venue hires. Let’s get started!

Can you rent an Airbnb for a birthday party in London?

Trying to rent an Airbnb for a birthday party in London isn’t actually going to be your most effective or sensible option.

Instead, you’ll be better off using Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for event venue rentals of all kinds. Peerspace is designed for the exact purpose of connecting people with event venues and other spaces that can be rented by the hour, with hundreds of stylish options in London alone.

You might think Airbnb is the right choice for a birthday party location based on your positive experiences with them as overnight rentals for travel. But an Airbnb rental is more like a hotel than an event venue, and you most often rent Airbnbs in 24-hour blocks so you’ll end up overpaying compared to an hourly rental. Peerspace, by contrast, only has hourly rentals so you can rent a venue for as many or as few hours as you’ll actually be using it for your birthday party.

Another obstacle you’ll probably encounter trying to rent an Airbnb for your birthday party is that many Airbnb hosts don’t allow their rentals to be used for events and are focused solely on providing lodging. Even if you find a host that does, you’ll violate Airbnb’s codified ban against parties being held in its properties, which can result in a ban or fine on your part and the part of the venue’s host!

Peerspace rentals, on the other hand, can be filtered based on what you plan to use them for – including specifically for birthday parties. We’ll describe the filters included as part of Peerspace’s easy-to-use search tool in more detail in the next section.
