It’s October, you’ve just completed your first year at a respectable boutique and have been assigned the task of arranging the Christmas party (whole day). You’ve got 7 weeks.
Of course, last year’s Analyst totally nailed it…(she did, I got to go), and you’ve got to exceed expectations.
The minor bar/pub crawl and the Mayfair-based dinner from mid-afternoon onwards is the easy part. The day-event is the challenge.
Ringing in your ears is Harvey Spectre’s “things like the rookie dinner actually matter”, and you don’t want to get behind the 8-ball….
Asking for best NON CRINGE corporate events/activities in london worth arranging for the firm. Any past events you attended where people who normally turn their nose up actually enjoyed are much appreciated. (Cost does not matter) - for the love of god, no escape rooms.

I'm horrible at this but let me throw out some ideas to get the ball rolling on this post. Finding something not cringe is very hard:
1) The driving range at North Greenwich. Decent mix of competitiveness, a distraction to give people something to talk about, can order snacks / drinks if people want, and easy
2) Clay pigeon shooting (actual, not virtual). Several grounds near London offer these as corporate try-out days. It's expensive and you'll need to sort out transport most likely to make it easy, but you said cost wasn't a factor and it'll be a novelty for some people. You're at risk of weather though
3) Otherworld. Probably too close to the fire of escape rooms for comfort, but it's super convenient in Victoria (at least the one I went to), probably a novelty for most, and isn't a lot of faff to organise
4) Wine tasting. I haven't been to one of these as a corporate event thing but they must exist
5) Electric shuffleboard: Don't love it but I don't hate it either
Otherworld got liquidated. No longer exits, sadly.
Take everybody to diggerland, blow off some steam
Arrange transport, drinks before the coach, reception afterwards (book the place out, private function)
Imagine it. Canapés and diggers. Fuck yeah. Everybody slightly tipsy, trying to operate heavy machinery
Anything short of a well put together event with earth-moving in the middle will just be cringe imitation. Axe throwing? Barf. Shuffle board? Everybody's done it before. I bet none of the uptight finance workers have ever felt the rubble of heavy industrial machinery vibrating them to their core
They'll never forget this one. You will be the JCB king
