2025 Week #51 - From The House of Lords to Holiday Parties: London's Tech Scene Celebrates Without Stopping
Business and networking events • 15th - 21st December 2025
Welcome to Raise Your Profyle, a weekly round up of business and networking events in London brought to you by profylecard.com
Hello, and welcome to Week #51 of Raise Your Profyle. I’m Chris, co-founder of Profyle Card, and I’ve been on the hunt to find you the most interesting business and networking events happening in London over the next 7 days.
What happens when London’s tech scene decides December is for debugging AND drinking? As the capital’s builders close out 2025, they’re not slowing down—they’re speeding up with a week that blends AI reflections with festive roasts, House of Lords roundtables with longevity mixers. From Google and Earlybird gathering their AI friends to predict 2026, to robotics pioneers pulling back the curtain on their field’s evolution, London proves that innovation doesn’t take holiday breaks.
This week showcases the ecosystem’s dual personality: serious policy discussions on decentralised economies at Westminster alongside the Tech Bros Christmas party where founders celebrate another year of building. Whether you’re facing the brutal honesty of MOMENTUM LABS’ Xmas Roast, exploring social impact at GoodTech’s winter social, or toasting longevity breakthroughs at the Old Fountain, December in London remains peak networking season—just with added tinsel and stronger drinks.
Let’s get stuck in…
