Need an Idea For an Office Christmas Party This Year? Thursday, November 4, 2010

If you are planning a Christmas party in London then read on then, I attended this event last year with my office colleagues and we had a fantastic evening. It is an extremely lavish Xmas night, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will transport everyone who takes part back to Dickensian London.

You can go back in time for your office Xmas party to experience the very essence of Christmas. Everyone is familiar with the look and feel of Dickensian London and that's exactly what is provided for you. It's an elaborate recreation of the Christmas party events that Dickens would have seen - but with the luxury and convenience that office Xmas party goers expect today. What you get is an exceptional Christmas party in London comprising dinner, dance and theatre. It will almost certainly be the best Christmas party London has ever seen - in the Past, Present or Future.

A complete office party experience

So what will you find during one of these Dickens office Xmas party events? When we arrived we were greeted with a glass of champagne before being taken down Dickens Lane, accompanied by traditional Christmas carol singers.

A Dickensian guide then escorted us to our exclusive dining area where waiting staff attended to our every need. Then we had all evening to experience the best that Victorian London had to offer, but with all the luxury that party goers today expect from their Christmas events.

Great wining, dining, dancing and more

As well as the fabulous dinner, we had the opportunity to visit The Boars Head Tavern, located in the centre of Dickens Lane, with its three large bars serving fine ales and the always popular roulette table. And to add a modern twist for a bit of extra variety to complete our Christmas party in London, there's a roulette table and cocktail bar with barmen showing off their flair and skill.

Step back into Dickens' London

Dickens Christmas party nights in London wouldn't be complete without a suitable cast of characters. So you get to meet Oliver, Fagin, The Artful Dodger, Miss Haversham, Mr Macawber, Bob Crachit, Jacob Marley, Jenny Wren and many more Dickens favourites.

The actors aren't just there to look authentic: the actors will recreate all their trials and triumphs to reveal the stories that are so familiar yet always a pleasure to experience. Don't expect stuffy performances - the characters can get very rowdy during the evening and love entertaining in true music hall style!

There are many other ideas for Christmas party nights, but this is the best I have yet to come across.

Christmas party. London has never seen anything like it . . . well not for 150 years!

Finding Office Space - Serviced Vs Non-Serviced Offices Wednesday, August 25, 2010

So you have a business and you're wondering where to find an office. Maybe you are just starting out, or maybe you've been working from home for a while and would like to make the step out into the world and get your own dedicated office space. Most UK cities will have a wealth of companies offering office space, so just finding your premises shouldn't be difficult, but balancing location, price and all the other considerations may be more of a minefield. This is where the fully serviced office package really comes in useful, as many small businesses have found.

Serviced offices take all of the hassle out of managing your workspace. Often you'll be able to find a package that covers rent, business rates, utilities and other basics, and also offers packages for your telephone, internet and other business essentials. Dependent on the provider, you may also have access to city-centre parking spaces, on-site meeting rooms and other amenities. Most serviced offices provide a manned reception and on-site personnel to deal with any day-to-day maintenance or problems, so the hassle really is completely taken out of your hands.

Serviced office buildings can also offer cost effective solutions to the small business that doesn't necessarily need office space full time. Virtual offices provide a very economical way to give your business an official address for correspondence, and provide access to meeting rooms as and when you might need them. Hot desking or nomad working is also an option, whereby a desk, with telephone and internet connection, can be rented by the day or even half-day, providing a dedicated workspace when it is needed most.

So consider the serviced office option if you are looking to move out of a home office, or if you are looking to expand your business. It's the easy, economical way to do things.
