With a German Christmas market, real Christmas tree and fake snow, even some of our own staff wouldn’t have recognised Troxy once it was decked out for the Google Christmas party.
The Internet search engine giant’s festive dream was to find a venue that could comfortably accommodate 1,500 guests and a spectacular Christmas funfair. Not an easy task in London!
They say the nativity star rose in the East, and luckily for Google our flexible space and the ‘blank canvas’ nature of our interior spaces meant their wish came true in Limehouse.
Production agency MAMA worked in conjunction with Bearded Kitten to transform the Main Hall into a winter wonderland complete with white carpet throughout and the smell of pine trees piped into the building.
The guests were entertained with a bucking bronco (complete with Christmas pudding twist), a reindeer ‘donkey derby’, mass snowball fight and a snow balloon drop.
Upstairs the Whiteroom was set up to look like a Spiegeltent with karaoke, while downstairs the Google guests danced to live music from bands and Djs among the Christmas trees.
Adding the production company’s fun touches to our original features certainly gave the evening a wow factor.
